Derek Chauvin’s conviction and the question of abolition

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Brian Becker, host of The Socialist Program, to discuss the long-term goals of police and prison abolition, the political and moral arguments behind the demand to “jail killer cops,” and why Derek Chauvin’s conviction isn’t necessarily “justice” or “accountability.”

PSL Indianapolis is sharing this short podcast because it clarifies tactical and strategic questions around abolitionism and reform and revolution.

By Any Means Necessary is your guide to the movement and efforts shaping the world around us: from mass incarceration to the battle between police and water protectors; from efforts to protect the environment to the movement for Black Lives.
