We answer 7 q's for the #CopsandCages twitterchat:
1. What's it like to be policed behind bars?
2. What are the connections btwn police violence in the streets, prisons + detention centers?
3. How do police in/out of prisons use gender&sexual violence as a form of control? (cont)
4. How does antiblack state violence connect btwn policing + prisons?
5. How do police hide the violence they commit behind bars?
6. Strategic coalitions to be made btwn #AbolishPolice, #AbolishICE & #AbolishPrisons?
7. How can we support incarcerated ppl & move #TowardAbolition?
As hundreds of thousands are mobilizing in the U.S. to meaningfully move toward #AbolishPolice #AbolishPrisons & #AbolishICE, we are grounded in our commitment to state violence in all its forms and the abolition of the nation-state, the main driver of violence in our lives.

We learned abt @liberationlib yesterday, an org providing books to youth incarcerated in IL prisons. Check out S&P's guide for book drives, a great way to connect with people behind bars, resist the isolating effect of prisons & raise public awareness.https://survivedandpunished.org/book-drives/
If you followed us for a while, you may remember the #FreeBresha book drives for incarcerated girls and women. These book drives helped @freebresha mobilize new folks to learn abt the criminalization of Black girls & relate to our incarcerated comrades.https://freebresha.wordpress.com/actions/freebresha-book-drive/ …

"Basic protocols to prevent the virus from spreading are being ignored"& "they fear imminent mass fatalities + hospitalizations." Excerpt here details harrowing conditions inside for the 120k+ ppl CA & @GavinNewsom is abandoning during a deadly pandemic.

How are our elders+medically vulnerable ppl trapped in these horrific conditions supposed to survive COVID @GavinNewsom? How do you ignore #ClemencyNow for survivors of sexual violence, war, cancer, yr disgusting prisons and sleep at night? #FreeOurElders #NoMoreDeaths
@GavinNewsom you need to #FreeOurElders w/ #ClemencyNow for #NoMoreDeaths. Free Patricia Wright, Maria Aredondo, Lucia Bravo, Tomiekia Johnson, Rae Harris, Brandy Scott, Janetta Leiva, Stacy Dyer & all our ppl CA subjugates to racist policing, imprisonment & death w/ yr backing.
DAY 16 Action 2 #TowardAbolition
Please sign & boost the petition to free Shajia Ayobi, a medically vulnerable survivor of domestic violence & war. @GavinNewsom can grant Shajia #ClemencyNow but clings to political cowardice & completely empty gestures.https://bit.ly/freeshajia
Happy Juneteenth! We're taking #SixNineteen to demand @GavinNewsom #DefendBlackLives #LeadWithMercy, decarcerate & save lives. W/ a stroke of his pen, he could finally right some of the wrongs caused by an anti-Black criminal legal system + save thousands from the COVID outbreak.
DAY 17 Action 1 #TowardAbolition
Only one action today for the challenge -- participate in our #SixNineteen #ClemencyNow action! There are several options to choose from in the digital toolkit: http://bit.ly/619clemencynow pic.twitter.com/W1Bup3hztl
In 2020, more ppl have died of #COVID19 inside CA prisons than the number of ppl granted freedom thru clemency. On Juneteenth, Black communities continue to be targeted by racist policing & imprisonment. @GavinNewsom must grant #ClemencyNow if he believes that #BlackLivesMatter
Today we'll be asking you to boost and/or donate to grassroots fundraisers for 2 criminalized Black trans people, R&B and Vanessa. Let's show up for Black TGNC people in and out of prisons and help create a world where #BlackTransLivesMatter
. #Pride #TowardAbolition
Quick note on donations - ppl apologize often for not being able to donate or making "small" donations, but we truly appreciate every single contribution, including boosts. Capitalism tells us we must individually bear the burden of making things *all right* but this is a trap!
For many, sustained support in smaller amounts across a variety of grassroots efforts (even $5-10/month for 1 yr+ comes out to be sizable, esp when many more ppl are doing this) can often provide a more ethical, grounded experience of redistributing. Just something to think abt!
DAY 18 Action 1 #TowardAbolition
R&B (Radical&Beautiful), a Black trans arist, poet & revolutionary has been granted parole & will be breathing their first free air of their adult life. Welcome home R&B by boost/donating @JossTGreene's reentry fund for R&B.
Venmo: Joss-Taylorpic.twitter.com/LopxRvUgTz
R&B has spent a lifetime fighting for incarcerated LGBTQ people & now it's our turn to fight for them. Reentry support can make a critical difference. Let's support the invaluable Black trans leadership of PIC survivors like R&B. #Pride #BlackTransLivesMatter
