This workshop will provide real life examples from attorneys and advocates who employ abolitionist practices in their work. Panelists will present specific scenarios, then participants will offer feedback aimed toward improving alternatives to relying on traditional criminal legal approaches. Scenarios include being a repeat player with bureaucrats and gatekeepers; how to maintain abolitionist principles without being a detriment to current or future clients; and how to get good outcomes without buying into the norms of the system. Free, but donations encouraged to cover the costs of materials and food.

Panelists Include:

• Woods Ervin, Administrative Director, Leadership Team, Transgender Intersex Justice Project
• Anoop Prasad, Sr. Staff Attorney, Immigrant Rights Program, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Asian Law Caucus
