This page is a hub for this year’s session materials, as well as additional resources related to the topic of PIC abolition, organizing, and healing justice.
The Abolitionist Youth Organizing institute (AYO, NYC!)—a collaboration between Project NIA and EFA Project Space—is an immersive training experience for young people in NYC ages 16-24 who are already interested in and/or working towards social justice. The training will introduce participants to the concepts of organizing, campaign development, direct action, mutual aid, creative resistance, prison industrial complex (PIC) abolition and transformative/healing justice. The institute will cover the basics of organizing from an abolitionist framework, with the goal of helping participants find/define & sustain their role within movements for social justice and change. Participants will also focus on the destructive power of violence and learn restorative/transformative practices such as peace circles and de-escalation strategies that interrupt and repair such harms.
