No New Cages: Lessons from Organizers Resisting Carceral Infrastructure
Description
Silky Shah, Mon Mohapatra, Hannah Riley, Stevie Wilson, Maha Hilal, and Zhandarka Kurti speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025. This session was sponsored by Community Justice Exchange.
The new, authoritarian, administration has promised to expand prison infrastructure, requiring remobilizations of efforts against expansion, construction, entrenchment, and net-widening. Alongside the release of a new resource on undertaking fights against carceral infrastructure, a panel of organizers who have organized against prisons, jails, detention centers, and cop cities will offer reflections and strategic recommendations on what these fights will look like in coming years.
The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, September 4-7, 2026. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
