This panel is an introduction to both historical and current anti-carceral work, with representation from people with lived experience as well as organizations that work towards abolition. We seek to offer a broad overview of abolitionist work by mapping out connections between different struggles, from solidarity with sex workers, to prisoner justice, to police abolition, to pan-Africanism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prisoners’ Justice Day is an annual day (August 10) memorializing the people who have died in prison the previous year; this tradition started in Millhaven prison (Bath, ON) in 1975, with 11 demands, including the right to meaningful work with fair wages, to vote, to open visits and correspondence, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

This event will kick off our programming series for Prisoners\u2019 Justice Day, which culminates with a vigil on August 10th at Parc Vinet. Check out our Instagram (@pjd___mtl) or <\/span>qpirgmcgill.org\/pjd\/<\/span><\/a> for more information on our other programming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cette table ronde propose une introduction aux luttes anti-carc\u00e9rales, tant historiques qu’actuelles, avec la participation de personnes ayant une exp\u00e9rience v\u00e9cue et d’organisations abolitionnistes. Nous souhaitons offrir un large aper\u00e7u du mouvement abolitionniste en \u00e9tablissant des liens entre diff\u00e9rentes luttes, de la solidarit\u00e9 avec les travailleuses du sexe, \u00e0 la justice pour les personnes incarc\u00e9r\u00e9es, \u00e0 l’abolition de la police et au panafricanisme.<\/span><\/p>\n
