Critical Resistance

Follow Message Edit

A US-based, national grassroots organization working to build an international movement to abolish the prison industrial complex (PIC). #AbolitionNow **This facebook account is only for outreach. We do not check this account regularly. If you want to contact CR, check out our website: criticalresistance.org & contact one of our chapters** Critical Resistance seeks to build an international movement to end the prison industrial complex (PIC) by challenging the belief that caging and controlling people makes us safe. We believe that basic necessities such as food, shelter, and freedom are what really make our communities secure. As such, our work is part of global struggles against inequality and powerlessness. The success of the movement requires that it reflect communities most affected by the PIC. Because we seek to abolish the PIC, we cannot support any work that extends its life or scope.

Critical Resistance Abolition Now. Building an international movement to abolish the prison industrial complex. Dismantle Through strong coalitions and strategic grassroots campaigns we fight to dismantle the prison industrial complex including the caging policing and surveilling practices and larger systems that harm control oppress and impoverish our communities and greater society. Change We strive to change common sense resource allocation and practices at all scales away from harm punishment and control and toward practices that empower communities and address harm and problems at their root cause.
