Life W/O Parole (LWOP) is #DeathbyIncarceration & racist, anti-women, anti-youth extreme sentencing. There are roughly 5200+ ppl on LWOP in CA. LWOP & other extreme sentencing disappears survivors of GBV into the punishment system at an alarming rate. We need to #DropLWOP!pic.twitter.com/a4vqhDqgxM
The majority of people serving LWOP in CA women's prisons are survivors of abuse. Vast majority were sentenced to LWOP under the Felony Murder Rule, meaning many were coerced by their abusers to be an "accomplice." @GavinNewsom #DropLWOP & end the culture of perpetual punishment.
Many formerly & currently incarcerated members of S&P were sentenced to LWOP bc CA doles out not just punishment but *extreme* punishment to survivors for the ways they choose to survive violence+abuse w/ little or no support.
@GavinNewsom #DropLWOP & commute these sentences.

Anti-carceral feminists that came before us contested state-reliant approaches to domestic & sexual violence and opposed expansion of the state's carceral power in the name of gender justice.

Now see our Defense Campaign Toolkit, "#SurvivedandPunished: Survivor Defense as Abolitionist Praxis," a collection of tools, tips, lessons + resources on running grassroots freedom campaigns for criminalized survivors.https://survivedandpunished.org/defense-campaign-toolkit/ …
We created this toolkit w/ @LoveProtectOrg to empower folks in initiating, growing & sustaining grassroots organizing campaigns to free criminalized survivors facing policing, PIC or immigration enforcement violence in their communities.https://survivedandpunished.org/defense-campaign-toolkit/ …
It's also an effort to document+reflect on our mvmt work, esp bc our organizing has been led by Black women, WOC, immigrants + queer/trans people fighting erasure. We hope to preserve some of these histories, build solidarity & share hope as we continue our collective struggle.
We will be taking a two-day break from #TowardAbolition this weekend, to resume on Monday, June 29. Rest well & see you soon!
