This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Ferguson uprising and the inception of the “Black Lives Matter Movement,” which expanded into the Movement for Black Lives, focused on combating state violence. These protests blended with the ongoing prison abolition movement, an anti-violence strategy for transformation. Abolition, predating BLM/M4BL, has been a significant intellectual and political framework within the anti-racist and anti-state violence protests. This panel will discuss police, prisons, state violence, safety, and the legacies of the Ferguson protests, exploring what abolition means in 2024.
