Participant Testimonials:

“I really liked the sessions that included incarcerated individuals fighting for abolition. I've never been in a virtual learning session where incarcerated voices were elevated like that, and I found that a very unique component of this network!”

“Applying in groups helped me meet people in my own department who I hadn't before and we now have relationships and shared work towards abolition--that part has been unexpectedly wonderful.”

“I realized there are so many fierce, wise, experienced, impassioned, driven abolitionists out there and there is SO much to learn from them! I have always known that I am a curious person but this group taught me that there is so much more to learn/unlearn/relearn and question and think about. And now, I have connections to some of those paving the way.”
