Part of this strategy is recognizing and actualizing that we cannot call for reforms that further entrench and legitimize policing in any form as a solution to social, economic or political problems. As prison industrial complex abolitionists, the reforms we call for in our demands must be aimed at diminishing the political power of policing. How can we assess which proposals to support or to oppose in our organizing? What are some abolitionist proposals?

We encourage you to study the webinar, rewatch it and share it with your communities, networks, organizations, collectives and coalitions.
