Prison and police abolition are often dismissed as unrealistic or purely theoretical, but communities and groups resolving conflicts and harms themselves, without looking to the state or judiciary is not, in and of itself, something new. This panel will discuss examples of and suggestions for concrete abolitionist praxis.
