Equal Justice Society

Critical Resistance is an organization based in Oakland, CA that is dedicated to building an international movement to abolish the prison industrial complex (PIC). Through strong coalitions and grassroots campaigns, they work to dismantle the systems of policing, surveillance, and incarceration that harm and oppress communities. They strive to change common practices and resource allocation away from punishment and control, towards empowering communities and addressing harm at its root cause. Critical Resistance also provides resources, political education, and prisoner solidarity programs to support their mission. The organization publishes a bilingual English-Spanish newspaper called The Abolitionist, which is distributed for free to thousands of people in prisons, jails, and detention centers across the US. They also organize events, workshops, and conferences to promote political education and community building. Critical Resistance relies on donations and support from individuals to sustain their work and continue advocating for a society that is free from the prison industrial complex.Generated from the website
