🗓️ Friday, October 24 at 5-6:30 PM ET — What is abolition when we’re talking about genocide? What is abolition when we’re talking about war?

Join our co-founder Andrea J. Ritchie, organizer, activist, and writer Ray Acheson, and moderator by B. Arneson for an online panel “Making the Case for Abolition” on October 24th at @worldbeyondwar’s #NoWar2025 virtual conference.

This panel will explore abolition as a visionary and necessary approach to dismantling systems of violence, including police, prisons, militaries, and borders, while cultivating communities rooted in justice, care, and collective well-being.

Grounded in feminist, anti-racist, and anti-colonial frameworks, abolition invites us to reimagine safety and security beyond punishment and control. It asks us to understand abolition not as an absence, but as a presence: safety without punishment, solidarity without surveillance, and peace without militarism.

The #NoWar2025 virtual conference will explore intersections between abolitionist movements, learn from successful case studies of abolition, and strategize about how we can truly move towards a world beyond war.
