http://www.bilerico.com/2008/05/tomorrow_night_critical_resistance_parti.phpCritical Resistance, a visionary organization working to abolish the racist, classist, and violently heteronormative prison system, is hard at work planning CR10, their tenth-anniversary gathering, which will take place in Oakland in September. This will be a major moment in the prison-abolition movement, which is one of the most inspiring movements challenging unjust power and oppression in the United States. One of the things I find most exciting about the current prison-abolition movement is how seriously it addresses and incorporates gender justice in a truly intersectional movement -- whether through "envisioning ways to stop the imprisonment and criminalization of transgender communities" or by pointing out the ways binary-gender-segregated prisons violently enforce gender norms.
Tomorrow night (May 31), there are going to be parties all across the U.S. to raise travel money for CR10. (L.A. folks -- maybe I'll see you at our local party?)The list of events is after the jump.
