Just Futures Law also released their policy platform yesterday, Defunding the Dragnet. You can check it out here: https://bit.ly/SurveillanceFreeFutures. We’re excited to share the full platform with you all. Our hope is that this document promotes a decarceral, anti-deportation, and surveillance free-agenda, and is used by organizers and policymakers who are actively working to reduce surveillance and criminalization.

Lastly, we are sharing all the amazing resources that our panelists provided during yesterday’s webinar below.
