Interrupting Criminalization is a comprehensive movement resource hub dedicated to dismantling systems of criminalization, policing, and punishment and replacing them with community-based, non-carceral safety strategies. Founded and led by long-time abolitionist organizers Mariame Kaba and Andrea J. Ritchie, IC provides research, strategic tools, educational curricula, media resources, and collaborative learning spaces designed for organizers, advocates, educators, and practitioners tackling the ever-expanding reach of the criminal punishment system. Whether you are developing protest strategy, countering policing narratives, building transformative justice interventions, or engaging in cross-movement network building, Interrupting Criminalization offers practical frameworks and resources to support sustained abolitionist and liberatory work.
