Abolition – Swallowtail Distro https://stdmag.blackblogs.org Connecting radical resources to radical prisoners and their conspirators Wed, 06 Mar 2024 22:01:26 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.7.1 https://stdmag.blackblogs.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2304/2023/09/cropped-Untitled-design-32x32.png Abolition – Swallowtail Distro https://stdmag.blackblogs.org 32 32 A World Without Police https://stdmag.blackblogs.org/2024/02/05/a-world-without-police/ Mon, 05 Feb 2024 17:56:27 +0000 https://stdmag.blackblogs.org/?p=59 This guide is published by the excellent website AworldWithoutPolice.org which has as its goal the complete abolition of the police. To that end, this pamphlet provides an excellent introduction to the problem of the police (exploring their history and reasons for existing), as well as offering many specific suggestions for moving towards a world without police. The discussion centers a strategy of disempowering, disarming, and disbanding the police with practical ideas of what that could look like and what it would take to get there. Overall, this is an excellent pamphlet that would be great for getting in the hands of folks who aren’t already familiar with critiques of police and policing.

Douglas “Snow” Williams is twelve years into a unjust 24 year stretch at West Illinois. Snow’s family is raising funds to assist in a petition for clemency. This process will be lengthy and especially taxing on Snows family as they try to navigate the system and support their dad, who is also working the programs to put himself in a great position to seek employment as he leaves hell and rejoins us on the outside. If you’ve got anything to spare, please toss his family a couple bones to help get the lawyer they need to wage this fight and free Snow.
