Collective Action for Safe Spaces
@SafeSpacesDC
Building safety without police, through solutions that are community-based, anti-carceral, and center survivors and folks at the margins.
Collective Action for Safe Spaces’s Tweets
This is a 🧵 of resources for what to do instead of calling the police. I am deeply disturbed that several people online, presumably all non-Black people, saw one of my tweets and called the cops instead of taking a number of actions which do not put Black people in danger.

There's often this assumption that abolition only exists in the future. That it's something only or kids or grandkids will see. But working with has helped me see abolition as a practice, something in the here and now. Not just a future vision.

We organized to decriminalize fare evasion in 2019! 91% of all fare evasion stops (2016-18) involved a black rider, and half of those were folks under 25. , stop surveilling + policing Black and brown folks and poor folks for trying to access transit. #ItsNotFare

We’ve been watching @wmata fare evaders ALL MORNING. Our camera isn’t hidden and people are blatantly hopping turnstiles live on air. Metro estimates $40 million in lost revenue.

Mask up and come through!
My first visit to DCMA was actually right after my sis Nona’s funeral and it was the exact balm I needed in the midst of my grief. Overjoyed to finally be able to reciprocate the community care I’ve received in this tremendously amazing space. 💫
