Free Up! Abolition & Transformative Justice Series

Exploring survivor centered transformative justice as a building block for abolition.

SEE BELOW FOR PREREQUISITES This session is rooted in an understanding that many abolitionist organizers are survivors who have experienced intersecting forms of sexual and state sanctioned violence. Many anti-abolitionist politics uphold policing and carceral punishment through the narrative of protecting communities from sexual violence. These frameworks operate on the assumptions that police, and imprisonment protect communities from this type of violence, rather than as institutions that produce the conditions of sexual violence. In this session, we will explore the implications of transformative justice for cultivating cultures of consent and honoring the agency, self determination and healing of survivors. We will also explore the ways in which survivors are criminalized, re-traumatized and punished by carceral systems. Participants will explore models for resistance that address the ways in which sexual violence produces collective and intergenerational traumas that impact the most marginalized in our communities in intersecting ways.
