This event is hosted by the Justice Beyond Punishment Collaborative (JBPC).

The Power of Words: Building Toward Non-Carceral Safety, Healing, and Justice is an interactive workshop launching and integrating our series of messaging tools! Over the past four years, JBPC has put together a messaging guide, zine, interview-based theater production, and now a podcast. Workshop participants will meet in small and large groups to discuss how punishment paradigms impact their organizing and activism, and to ideate and put into practice ways that JBPC messaging tools can make their work easier and more effective. We'll specifically have a section focused on reproductive justice and family policing that we think would be of interest to you all!
