SURJ: Abolition Action Hour
January 20, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST
FreeJoin SURJ for their first Abolition Action Hour of 2022! As usual, we’ll gather en masse on Zoom to take collective action together to close jails, defund police, invest in communities, and protect Indigenous rights to land and water. You’ll receive education and training in community, and then be supported to participate in frontline racial justice campaigns.
This month’s actions will include making sure people detained by ICE in Illinois are released under the Way Forward legislation, taking action in solidarity with Oʻahu Water Protectors, pushing for free phone calls in jails and prisons across the country, and joining the organizing work to stop detention expansion in Georgia.
