On September 26-28, 2008, thousands gathered in Oakland, California, to celebrate 10 years of Critical Resistance and to continue to build the movement to abolish the prison industrial complex (PIC).  Each participant, with their own experiences of oppression and resistance, watched as diverse struggles were unified: by humanity, hope, and the shared vision of a different world. We witnessed a vision of a world with truly safe, healthy, and whole communities; a world with unconditional access to self-determination and dignity for all; and, critically, a world without imprisonment, policing, and other forms of punishment and control.

Please bring your lunch. Beverages will be provided. $5 contribution requested.
