Abolitionist frameworks advocate dismantling punitive systems and investing in community-based solutions that aren't centered around punishment. This compelling alternative vision for justice actively challenges the law and looks to reshape harmful norms to build a more equitable and just future.

Law is not a neutral or static force; it is a tool used to maintain power and shape hierarchies. Systems of control that disproportionately affect marginalized communities, particularly communities of color, should challenge us to think critically about the law, and concepts of legal and illegal.

Families of color are often targeted under the Child Welfare system, in particular there has been an disproportionate amount of Native families losing parental rights compared to others. This graph shows the discrepancies between Indigenous families and other families

What will help is tackling the societal problems that led them to cause harm in the first place. Shifting priorities from prisons (both private and public) to allocating the funding for these prisons to social programs would be a step in the right direction.

Prison Abolition, A World without Prisons
Upending our current system and putting the needs of those who are harmed first.
Right now prisons are used too often for dealing with the inequalities and problems that our health, welfare, education and employment systems aren't solving.

(3/3) DEI is under attack and the belief in meritocracy is only climbing. It is important that we protest anti-DEI initiatives, and educate people we know about the dangers of meritocracy.

(2/3) Hiring based on merit sounds like the perfect system, but some critical flaws make meritocracy the enemy of equity, as explained in the slides below.

(1/3) What is DEI and why is meritocracy so bad?
In the presentation below, I go into what DEI is, what it means for people, and how merit-based systems simply do not work because of structural inequalities in America.

Immigration is often a hot topic in our current society and politics; impacting how immigrants are viewed and law is used to prevent them from succeeding in their attempt to look for a better life. Recent executive orders and bills proposed challenge the role law plays in immigration.

Good evening everybody,
Today I wanted to write about a concept we talked about in class called carceral creep. It reminded me of an issue that happens often in games that I have played and I think that the comparison would help new people access this topic of conversation. (3/3)

Settlercolonialism has been a hot topic for years, but it isn’t a thing of the past, it shapes the world we live in today. The effects of land loss and systemic inequalities are still felt by indigenous communities everyday. #Decolonize

Racialized policies and laws can be found throughout history. Scott Michaelsen shows the connection with Japanese internment and the Patriot Act and how they led to the border policies of today. Steven Salaita argues that the Palestine exception to free speech shows it's functionality. -CME

Did you know that 80% of the world’s biodiversity is on indigenous lands? Indigenous stewardship serves as an example for how we can heal our broken relationship with the natural world. It serves as an act of resistance against environmental racism and capitalist exploitation.

The prison abolition movement argues that incarceration harms society more than it helps society, and that our system for dealing with those that break the law needs to fundamentally change away from incarceration.

Good Evening everyone,
Today I wanted to present to you all a discussion on the concept of the prison nation. We had a really good discussion in class and I figured that it would be beneficial for more people to be aware about. (2/2)
