@NNetworkAu unequivocally opposes the Northern Territory government’s plan to bring in private and interstate correctional officers to address the so-called prison staffing crisis. 'This is a lazy, reactionary solution to a problem of the government’s own making—one created by the draconian legislation and policies of the Country Liberal Party, which have needlessly driven up incarceration rates,'- Tabitha Lean. ‘The NT government must stop treating mass incarceration as the default response to social issues. The current crisis is not about a lack of prison staff—it’s about a lack of political will to pursue real solutions,’ - @DebKilroy Full press release attached: @nit_times @NITV @abcnews

@NNetworkAu call for an immediate end to human rights abuses in NT prisons. Alongside other advocates, the National Network have repeatedly raised these concerns with the NT Government and we have also referred the matter to the United Nations. Yet, no one is listening. Full press release attached. @nit_times @NITV @koorimailnews @NTnewspaper @ABCIndigenous

In these slides I’m exploring the difference between Mutual Aid and Charity, how Mutual Aid helps to build community, and why Mutual Aid is a critical part of Abolition and Liberation There are so many really good Mutual Aid call outs every single day that people can get behind. You can support single call outs or make regular and ongoing contributions to groups like, for example, Sisters Inside - $5 a week every week for a year can make an ENORMOUS impact! Hope these slides are helpful in learning more about how we can pave a path to liberation for ourselves and all the people in our community. ❤️✊🏾

Today, I’m looking at the difference between solidarity and virtue signalling (particularly as it relates to abolition), why it’s important to know the difference, and then I use an example of a new children’s prison being built to demonstrate the difference. I hope these slides are helpful Lets get informed, and join forces to abolish the carceral state ✊🏾

Everything that we see happening right now in the aftermath of the National Symposium on unifying anti-racist research and action, hosted by QUT's Carumba Institute-which brought together brilliant Indigenous, Blak, Brown and marginalised voices to theorise, pontificate, elevate, make joyful, make known matters around race and racism in this country and beyond- IS evidence of the fact that universities are not seen as sites to develop free thinkers capable of critical thought and expansive thinking- rather the ruling class see them as sites of compliance, subservience, assimilation and places to churn out the next wave of imperialists

Read @NNetworkAu press release condemning the @PMalinauskasMP Government’s new policy making it easier to evict public housing tenants It is a dangerous and short sighted response to community concerns about so called anti-social behaviour & at a time when we are in the grip of a housing crisis, the government should be strengthening supports for tenants, not accelerating their pathway to homelessness.

@NNetworkAu critique on South Australian government expansion of police powers : ‘Expanding police powers and redirecting resources toward policing children does not create safety for everyone—instead, it deepens systemic inequalities and disproportionately targets Aboriginal children and children from low-income communities’ Full press release:

The @NNetworkAu state that the latest data revealing a record surge in violence within South Australia’s prisons is a damning indictment of the government’s failed reliance on incarceration. ‘With 481 assaults recorded in the last financial year—more than double the previous year’s figures—it is clear that prisons are not places of rehabilitation or safety but sites of escalating harm and systemic violence.' ‘Rather than throwing hundreds of millions of dollars into prison expansions, the @PMalinauskasMP Government needs to start thinking outside of the cage. The Government must urgently develop a decarceration strategy that prioritises reducing the prison population, investing in community-based solutions, and dismantling the systemic racism that sees Indigenous people disproportionately locked up. We must stop responding to harm with more harm.' Our full press release is attached.

@sncrlynotsorry Hmmm I don’t know much about all of these things

@sncrlynotsorry Hmmm haven’t thought about it. I have kofi is that the same?

@speakcleary Actually I didn’t create the term. The term racial capitalism was popularised by Cedric Robinson in his book Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition

Today, I’m talking about Carceral Feminism, what it is, why it is problematic and using the carceral feminist push to criminalise coercive control as an example to explore its most problematic elements. Through enacting and embodying other transformative approaches to justice, safety and fairness, we can move to a more abolitionist future. I hope these slides I’ve been putting up over the past week are helpful in unpacking some of the concepts that get thrown around but maybe not explored too deeply. ❤️

@Maggiefifty Absolutely

@sncrlynotsorry So glad they’re helpful
