How do I begin building a world without police? How do I enact abolition in a world that still relies on policing? This workshop is designed to answer these questions. Together, we’ll examine when and why we think we should call the police and build a database of alternatives. 
This is the second of our three-part, “A World Without Police Series.” It is designed to help participants think about how they can participate in building a world without police right now. Participants do NOT have to attend part 1 to attend this workshop, but should be familiar with abolition as a concept. We also strongly encourage participants to attend Part Three: “Moving to Action,” where they can learn more about abolitionist campaigns for systemic change.
