Where do cops come from and why does the capitalist state need them? ❓🚓

On Tuesday the 28th, organizer and author brian bean will share reflections at Firestorm Books on the connection between policing and capitalism. Drawing from their new book "Their End Is Our Beginning," brian will trace the roots and development of policing through colonial rule, racist enslavement, and class oppression, concluding with an analysis of how police power can be challenged and, ultimately, abolished to build a thriving community-organized society!

Next Saturday we're teaming up with our buddies at Appalachian Medical Solidarity and the Asheville Bail Fund to host a discussion on abolition through the lens of healthcare with Dr. Ronica Mukerjee, co-editor of "All This Safety is Killing Us."

This discussion will examine the book as well as the impacts of over policing and deadly conditions at the Buncombe County Detention Center on our own community's health and well-being. Copies of "All This Safety Is Killing Us" will be available during the event, along with opportunities to support local grassroots efforts toward health justice. We hope to see you there!

Full details can be found at https://firestorm.coop/events/3398-abolition-and-health-justice-with-dr-ronica-mukerjee.html

Appalachian Medical Solidarity and Asheville Bail Fund host a discussion of All This Safety is Killing Us, the first abolitionist anthology that focuses on healthcare!

STORIES OF JURY NULLIFICATION

“I'have been on juries pretty often [over] the last

10 years. I'm in Saint Louis and especially after the
Ferguson uprising, I've tried to get [my fellow jurors]
to reconsider their own bias and how we often insert
our own experience erroneously especially in regards to
race and crime. I find gently asking questions about
assumptions folks make to be pretty useful. Asking
folks if their goal is punishment, protection for the
vulnerable or rehabilitation can allow me to slide in
word tracks about abolition without people realizing
what Iam doing. And, of course, being prepared to be
the hold out and explaining why I am, gently and in a
granular way, can get others to join me.”
