Abolition Campaign

MDC DSA’s Abolition Working Group is organizing in coalition with Black-led and racial justice organizations to move toward prison abolition in DC, Montgomery County, and Northern Virginia. Short-term tasks include defunding the police departments to fund social services such as free public transit and social housing, redistributing funds to restore underfunded agencies such as public libraries and parks and recreation, replacing police in schools with supportive non-police staff, and freeing our neighbors from occupation and incarceration as a path towards abolition — a world without cops and prisons. As part of our vision for racial and economic justice, we demand that the funding removed from police and prisons be reinvested in real public safety: housing, schools, jobs, healthcare, and mental health services, community-based support programs, violence interruption, and other public goods and services.
