Abolition 101 Training with Benji Hart
May 4, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm PDT
About this event
The Coalition to Decarcerate IL(CDI) and our partners at Mamas Activating Movements for Abolition and Solidarity (MAMAS) invite you to join us for an Abolition 101 Training!
This event will take place on Wednesday, May 4th, from 5-7pm Central Time. All attendees must register to receive the Zoom Link via this Eventbrite. All are welcome to attend. Loved ones of the incarcerated and directly impacted people are encouraged to register and will be given priority. The Zoom link will be sent out on the day of the event.
Benji Hart, a Chicago-based author, educator, and artist whose work centers Black radicalism, queer liberation, and prison abolition, will be facilitating this training. The first half will be an in-depth training with Benji on Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) abolition, and the second half full of more intimate conversations surrounding police, prisons, abolition, and transformative justice. This is meant to be a space of learning and community building!
