When we say we must defund & divest from policing, that includes the "soft police" — policing, coercion & criminalization can be enacted by people other than cops, including social workers, health care providers & more.

Moving $$ across prison walls to criminalized survivors disappeared in state cages is an act of refusing fascism. Refuse the organized abandonment and organized violence of mass criminalization, stand with survivors, support our mutual aid fund: https://t.co/yymE3bBZJI
Our place in the movement against militarization & state repression demands solidarity with all tactics on the road to liberation.
We stand in full support of the Week of Action, #StopCopCity movement & abolitionist organizers + activists.
Our statement: https://t.co/W6dDMH8VNF
"Important was @prisonculture's assurance that we didn’t have to reinvent the wheel—there was no analysis or strategy we were considering that hadn’t been used in the past...There is a deep well of organizing history to draw on for the questions of today." https://t.co/ocoBm5qO5m
The state targeting people running a bail fund is such a terrifying escalation and makes clear that they will use anything in the playbook to criminalize people and crush dissent.
These are the moves of a fascist police state. All eyes on Atlanta. #CopCity will never be built.
