Abolitionist joy hour attendees will have the opportunity to make their own collage speaking to their visions of abolitionist futures and liberation and connect with each other in a chill space. We ask participants to envision: what does a world without prisons look like? What inspires us to action? How has resistance looked and could look like, from both inside and outside of the prison? What does liberation feel like?
