As a fundamentals workshop introducing abolitionist organizing, rethinking societal notions of safety and justice, and connecting the community to imagine a world beyond mass incarceration and the prison industrial complex, Abolition 101 is made 100% youth-friendly and encourages intergenerational conversation.
