Postcapitalism, Prison Abolition, and Transwomen
SPEAKERS
*TGIJP (transgender, gender-variant, intersex, justice project)*
“TGI Justice Project is a group of transgender people—inside and outside of prison—creating a united family in the struggle for survival and freedom.
We work in collaboration with others to forge a culture of resistance and resilience to strengthen us for the fight against imprisonment, police violence, racism, poverty, and societal pressures. We seek to create a world rooted in self determination, freedom of expression, and gender justice.”
