Critical Resistance is a national, member-based grassroots organization that works to build a mass movement to dismantle the prison-industrial complex. Critical Resistance's office is in Oakland, and has three chapters in Oakland, Los Angeles and New Orleans. Critical Resistance popularized the idea of the prison industrial complex after their first conference in 1998, which drew thousands of former prisoners, family members, activists, academics and community members, and by many accounts re-invigorated anti-prison activism in the United States. ==Organization== Critical Resistance was founded by Angela Davis, Rose Braz, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, and others. The organization is primarily volunteer member-based, with three staff members based in Oakland. Each chapter determines its own work independently. Projects included: : * contributing to stopping California's prison building boom : * copwatching : * coalition-building and participation in the Community in Unity Coalition to stop construction of a 2,000 bed jail in the South Bronx. : * facilitating education within prisons and the creation of political media by, for and with prisoners and former prisoners : * political education and leadership development : * building a mass movement for genuine safety that doesn't rely on caging and control to address social, economic and (political problems ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Critical Resistance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
