b'A Study and Struggle critical conversation about what it means for abolition to be intersectional.\\n\\nStudy and Struggle organizes against criminalization and incarceration in Mississippi through mutual aid, political education, and community building. We provide a bilingual Spanish and English curriculum with discussion questions and reading materials, as well as financial support, to over 100 participants in radical study groups inside and outside prisons in Mississippi. These groups correspond with groups from across the country through our pen pal program. We regularly come together for online conversations hosted by Haymarket Books. The curriculum, built by a combination of currently- and formerly-incarcerated people, scholars, and community organizers, centers around the interrelationship between prison abolition and immigrant justice, with a particular attention to freedom struggles in Mississippi and the U.S. South.\\n\\nFor our Fall 2021 four month curriculum, we have borrowed and augmented Ruth Wilson Gilmore\'s argument that \\u201cabolition is about presence, not absence. It has to be green, and in order to be green, it has to be red (anti-capitalist), and in order to be red, it has to be international," having added \\u201cintersectional\\u201d as a fourth analytical category that we hope moves us beyond \\u201csingle-issue\\u201d organizing. Study and Struggle provides a bilingual curriculum to all our imprisoned comrades in Mississippi with the support of our friends at 1977 Books and makes it fully available online for other study groups to use as they see fit.\\n\\nOur Critical Conversations webinar series, hosted by Haymarket Books, will cover the themes for the upcoming month. Haymarket Books is an independent, radical, non-profit publisher.\\n\\nFor more on Study and Struggle: https://www.studyandstruggle.com/\\n----------------------------------------------------\\n\\nOur first webinar theme covers "intersectionality" and will be a conversation about what it means for abolition to be intersectional and how abolition demands a reimagination of relationships, accountability, and what it means to be in community and to care for one another.\\n\\nWhile all of our events are freely available, we ask that those who are able make a solidarity donation in support of commissary and mutual aid for our incarcerated participants. \\n----------------------------------------------------\\n\\nSpeakers:\\n\\nMariame Kaba is an organizer, educator and curator who is active in movements for racial, gender, and transformative justice.
