Asbury Park Transformative Justice Project:

A Conversation on Police and Prison Abolition - Live Online

Thursday July 2

7 pm

To register for access, send an email to derek.minno.bloom@gmail with your name and email address

For the last 50 years, a small group of radicals has been talking about police and prison abolition. Now, after the nation-wide rebellion sparked by the murder of George Floyd, the possibility of abolition is becoming mainstream. Join the Asbury Park Transformative Justice Project's Jennifer Lewinski, Lori Rush, and Derek Minno-Bloom for a conversation on why we need abolition now, its history, and what it would look like today.
