Join Nova and DC Abolition Working Groups for a Socialist Night School on Police Abolition 101

In this session, we'll discuss what policing and prisons are, what abolition means, what abolitionists do, how abolitionist approaches differ from other critiques (like mass incarceration), why abolitionists demand more than reform, what some alternatives to policing and prison look like, and the relationships between capitalism and the carceral state, abolition and socialism.
