Abolition For The People: Reimagining Justice in the 21st Century

What is Abolition For The People?

Abolition For The People (AFP) is a movement to abolish the prison system and reimagine justice in the United States. Founded in 2018, the organization has grown to include over 50 chapters across the country, working to build a world without prisons, police, or poverty.

AFP believes that the current criminal justice system is a system of oppression that perpetuates violence, racism, and economic inequality. The organization argues that prisons do not make us safer and that they actually contribute to crime by creating a cycle of poverty and recidivism. AFP also believes that the police are a violent and racist institution that terrorizes communities of color.
