Tawnshi, Hello, Tan’si , Boozhoo, Salut,

Welcome to the Abolition List-Serv.

The Abolition list-serv is an online forum for people engaged in prisoners’ struggles and penal/carceral abolition across the land colonized as Canada and elsewhere. This is an opportunity to share our work, engage in cross-movement building and strengthen our networks.

Subscribers include prisoners, grassroots activists/organizers, researchers, academics, non-government organizations and others interested in promoting prisoners’ rights, penal/carceral abolition, transformative justice, anti-racism and Indigenous resurgence, among others.  Postings to the list-serv can include calls for action, events, presentations, activities, actions, publications, conferences, reports, research and discussions relevant to an abolitionist perspective in Canada and abroad.

The Abolition list-serv is moderated by formerly incarcerated and non-incarcerated volunteers. We strive to create collaborative environments to help foster the embodiment of penal/carceral abolitionist values. Content that does not reflect this approach will be directed elsewhere. If you feel the list-serv is not living up to these values, please reach out and share your thoughts or experience.
