Critical Resistance is formed.

1997

RES
PIC

Critical Resistance brings together activists, organizers, cultural workers, and formerly incarcerated people and their family members to end the Prison Industrial Complex.

The work of Critical Resistance significantly shifts the national conversation around prisons and policing. It centers conversations and work that challenge: "the idea that incarceration and policing are a solution for social, political, and economic problems" (Critical Resistance, n.d.).
