ABOLITION IS A COMMITMENT TO ENDING CYCLES OF HARM

Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) abolition asks us to redefine safety, justice, and relationship in our intimate and institutional environments. Abolition is not a destination, it is practice and relationship. Like anything we wish to be better at; sports, math, cooking, dancing, gardening, ... we need to practice. Abolition, calls for daily actions that ultimately strengthen our commitment to ending cycles harm.
