Mid-Hudson Valley DSA invites you to our next political education event, on police and prison abolition and socialism.

What is police and prison abolition, and how does it relate to socialism? From the slogan "defund the police" to the questions about the role of the Capitol police in the recent right-wing storming of the U.S. capitol, recent events have brought the role of police and prisons to the forefront of left debate. Come discuss the meaning of abolition, and the role of the carceral state in maintaining capitalism.
