Abolition

Can Religion Help Us Imagine a World Without Policing and Prisons?

With Stephen Crouch, Rabbi Barat Ellman, Rev. Anthony Jermaine Ross-Allam, and Nura Ahmed

Stephen Crouch of the NYC RS Group will speak with abolition activists Rabbi Barat Ellman, Rev. Anthony Jermaine Ross-Allam, and Nura Ahmed to explore the religious roots of abolition, how religious imagination might be particularly helpful in imagining a world without policing and prisons, what spiritual resources, ritual or textual, point to the abolition of the Prison-industrial Complex (PIC), and what the role of faith communities should be in the PIC abolitionist movement.
