Implementation of the #TenForJustice Demands: Abolition of Police and Prisons
Implementation of the #TenForJustice Demands: Abolition of Police and Prisons
Why this petition matters
The time for platitudes and reforms is over.
A dozen activists worked for weeks, reviewing and incorporating feedback from the abolitionist and Black communities, developing #TenForJustice: The Road to Abolition
Ten Demands for Justice envisions a new society in which prisons and police are no longer necessary, and communities are equipped to provide for their own health and safety.
Ten Demands for Justice offers a roadmap for the defunding and then full abolition of police and prisons, beginning with immediate actions to end police violence as well as racism and classism in policing, prosecution and sentencing.
BLACK, BROWN, INDIGENOUS, IMMIGRANT AND POOR LIVES MATTER.
And as we push for implementation of these 10 demands , we need YOUR support in amplifying the urgency of this message.
Please sign this petition to demand the United States federal, state and municipal governments immediately begin implementing these demands.
