Join us at: http://bit.ly/OMAlounge With the rise in Anti-Asian violence & continued Anti-Blackness much of the conversation between Black and Asian communities has been toxic. On social media and informal interactions we see both communities fighting with each other. This session will demonstrate and model the solidarity needed to effectively resist white supremacy & white nationalism. Hosted by Chad Williams and Dr. Christopher Liang

Prison abolition, as defined by Critical Resistance, is a “broad strategy” that “means we must build models today that can represent how we want to live in the future.” The vision painted by this strategy is not only a world without prisons but a world with accountability mechanisms and transformative justice. Join us for a discussion led by the Pride Center around why Prison Abolition is a queer imperative.
