To be abolitionist is to be anti-imperialist. It means standing against all forms of militarized state violence, prisons—especially open-air ones—and other carceral (il)logics. Solidarity to the people of Palestine, Columbia, & all those resisting state terror. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

[Charlotte Uprising @cltuprising]

From Charlotte to Palestine it’s fuck the (militarized) police.

[Refund Raleigh Freedom Committee @RefundRaleigh]

End the occupation. End the militarization. Free Palestine.

[Duke Grad Union @dukegradunion]

DGSU stands with Duke's service workers demanding hazard pay, back pay, and robust COVID protections.

[Charlotte Uprising @cltuprising]

The police do not keep us safe.

[abolish stanford @abolishstanford]

B/t the news of eight Asian women killed in GA today, 33 Vietnamese immigrants deported yesterday, the sharp spike in anti-Asian hate crimes, & decades of imperialism, this country is anti-Asian to its core. Sending love & solidarity to all of our Asian and Asian-American family

ANNOUNCEMENT: MAJOR UPDATE ON EVICTIONS DUE TO NON-PAYMENT IN DURHAM CO COURTS

Earlier this week Chief District Court Judge Pat Evans issued a administrative order temporarily postponed eviction cases due to non-payment until May 1st.

quickly, what this means (thread):

[BYP100 @byp100]

1/6 Another Black woman was kidnapped and held by the state, which resulted in her death. On January 19, Brittany Kittrell died 4 days after being arrested and placed in Durham County Jail on a $5000 bond. #DurhamCountyJailKills #BrittanyKittrell #SayHerName

Let’s make this clear: “Abolition is about presence, not absence. It’s about building life-affirming institutions” - Ruth Wilson Gilmore. Abolition is about investing in each other and our right to joy.

[Duke Black Coalition Against Policing @DukeBCAP]

Our purpose with this townhall was to push for transparency and inclusion in the conversations we’ve been having with administration for months. Our goals are the same: disclose, divest, disband.

[Duke Black Coalition Against Policing @DukeBCAP]

An equitable and just world can’t exist until we invest in healing instead of policing. We hope you ended tonight with more questions and urgency.

[Duke Mutual Aid @Dukemutualaid]

In light of the BCAP town hall: Duke Mutual Aid fully supports @DukeBCAP and police abolition, specifically of the Duke and Durham police departments. Anything less reinforces white supremacy and causes immense harm to our community.

[BYP100 @byp100]

We demand an IMMEDIATE END to the cash bail system. Being unable to pay your ransom to the state shouldn’t result in a death sentence during a pandemic. #EndMoneyBail #DurhamCountyJail #BrittanyKitrell #5000ToLife

[BYP100 @byp100]

The death of another Black woman is at the hands of Durham County Jail and the predatory cash bail system. #BrittanyKittrell #DurhamCountyJailKills #EndMoneyBail #5000ToLife

[BYP100 @byp100]

Our hearts are with the family of Brittany Kittrell. Being unable to make bail should never cost someone their life. Donate at https://t.co/eBF3DU9Ry5 to support the families of those taken by Durham County Jail. #BrittanyKittrell #DurhamCountyJailKills #5000ToLife #EndMoneyBail
