Deeply Rooted: Disrupting Community Violence Using Abolitionist Principles
- In response to our community partners’ request to stay relevant to and address multiple forms of community violence, the Greater Lawndale Healthy Work Project hosted a forum in November 2023 called Deeply Rooted: Disrupting Community Violence using Abolitionist Principles, where academics, students, community members, and representatives from organizations gathered to learn about and discuss abolitionist strategies to support safe communities. Greater Lawndale.
- Four panelists shared their critical analysis of the root causes of violence, making connections between political struggles against the prison industrial complex, and discussing abolitionist-principled strategies that disrupt violence.
- Following the panel discussion, attendees joined breakout groups to discuss opportunities to work together.
- The data collected from the breakout groups was qualitatively analyzed by a group of GLHW team members, and was presented to community-academic stakeholders at the Deeply Rooted Community Share Back to generate feedback.
- A visual note artist was present at the Deeply Rooted Community Share Back to graphically record the dialogue.
