Survival Until Revolution

Mandatory Reporting, Anti-Blackness and Education

We must end mandatory reporting and abolish the family regulation system.

“Survival Until Revolution” is a zine borne out of conversations between a collection of activists fighting to abolish the family regulation system. As abolitionists, we must tighten our analysis around the interconnected ways multiple systems contribute to the policing of children, and ensure that any demand to divest from cops, includes a demand to divest from the family regulation system. We must divest from police and invest in what really makes our communities safer, and we must turn an equally critical eye to the allegedly “helping” and “caring” professions that are infected by the family policing system’s requirement of mandated reporting.
