Please join us for the second meeting of PGDSA's abolition reading group! We will be discussing chapters 5 and 6 of Angela Davis's Are Prisons Obsolete.
Originally published in 2003, Angela Davis’s “Are Prisons Obsolete” argues that prisons do not keep communities safe and that it is time to revisit how communities define safety outside of incarceration. Whether you’re a committed abolitionist or curious about prison abolition, this group is for you. You can access a PDF of the book here.
