Right now in the United States, over two million people sit in a prison or jail cell, while over seven million are under some form of correctional supervision. The U.S. alone incarcerates over 25% of the world’s prison population. As the system called the prison industrial complex keeps growing into a massive for-profit net of social control, more and more people are organizing as prison abolitionists, believing that this system can’t be reformed—it must be abolished.

How does the prison industrial complex affect our communities, and what’s being done locally to resist it?

Featuring speakers from the Women’s Prison Book Project, the Cece McDonald Support Committee, and others in the struggle against prisons and policing. Come to learn from local activists, ask questions and share your experience!
