Screening of ‘Beyond Walls’
October 26, 2023

The screening of this selection of short films on prison industrial complex abolition, followed by a panel discussion, will be held from 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 26, on Zoom.

The Beyond Walls compilation shares stories of individuals resisting the prison industrial complex while demonstrating the importance of relationships inside and out, as well as the generational harm and next steps to build a world without police and prisons.

The panel will include previously incarcerated individuals involved in abolition and work to decrease suffering.

We hope you will consider attending this event that will educate our communities about the harm of confinement and potential steps forward.
