The INCITE! pre-conference institute on the Critical Resistance-INCITE! Statement on Gender Violence and the Prison Industrial Complex will build on the opportunity for reflection, learning from each other, and collective action presented by CR10 to share strategies, successes and struggles in bringing the CR-INCITE! statement to life.
We also hope to further develop analysis and action around the statement to more fully integrate and address multiple forms and experiences of state, interpersonal, and community-based violence, including gender violence against transgender and gender non-conforming folks, law enforcement violence, immigration enforcement violence, homophobic/transphobic/gender-based/religion-based and race-based violence, failure to protect women of color, and particularly Native women, from violence, links between the prison industry and the military industry in the U.S. and overseas, and violence in the context of responses to disasters, and so much more!
Please review this pdf document containing an intro to the CR-INCITE! statement, the statement itself, and some ideas for discussion questions.
If you are interested in participating in the pre-conference institute, and/or know of a person or group who might be interested, please contact Andrea at aritchiedc [at] aol.com.
Space is limited, so let us know as soon as you can!
INCITE! members will also be at CR10 facilitating workshops on community accountability, law enforcement violence against women and trans people of color, and much more! DOWNLOAD the INCITE! schedule of workshops and events from chapters, affiliates, and partners.
