Abolition Caroling in Arkansas

On December 11th, Socialist Party USA members joined other community organizations and activists in a caroling event at the county jail. The goal was to sing near the holding areas, in the hopes that folks inside the facility would hear the signing and know that they were not forgotten by the community. Community Partners Arkansas Justice Reform Coalition also caroled in the next county over, starting a new local, annual solidarity abolitionist tradition.

Additionally, around 1,400 holiday cards were made and distributed to inmates in the Washington and Benton County Arkansas jails.

The SPUSA calls for the dismantling of the prison industrial complex through reductions and dismantling of existing prisons, and an end to mass incarceration of people of color.
