Building power and transformation is about encouraging the grassroots while confronting a resilient carceral state.
while building towards fundamentally transforming public safety. This is important long-term work.
However, the slow and long-term work of building community power thrives when it is supported by others seeking to organize and build the type of disruptive power we witnessed and participated in in the summer of 2020.
We should continue to use all the tools of struggle — transformative justice work, community organizing, constant agitation, troublemaking and disruptive protest — and see them as mutually reinforcing strategies as we navigate this in-between moment.
Some law enforcement officials demand total valorization and obedience. They expect us to express this admiration not just through acts of recognition, but by shoveling money into their institutions and coffers. Law enforcement has served as a political interest group that has accumulated much power and privilege — political, cultural and economic force — in U.S. society.
The last decade has been rife with crises, but with crisis has come protest, politicization and radicalization. If the last year has been any indication — continued public fascist demonstrations, the end of the constitutional right to abortion and the ensuing restrictions and bans, climate disasters, economic crises and continuing police brutality — then we should always expect mass protest around the corner.
