Abolition Across Criminal Justice, Immigration, and National Security explores the interconnections between abolitionist movements in the criminal justice, immigration, and national security spaces. The conference’s goal is to contribute to the growing public conversation on abolition by exploring the importance of taking an intersectional approach to the abolitionist project and underscoring the close relationship that exists by necessity between abolitionist movements across interrelated legal domains. The conference will also serve as an opportunity for activists, scholars, and legal practitioners across disciplines to meet and connect in the hopes of generating future collaborations.

Center for Constitutional Rights Board Member Professor Amna Akbar will be delivering the keynote address, and Senior Staff Attorney Pardiss Kebriaei will be joining the panel on Abolition and National Security.
