  • Critical Resistance seeks to build an international movement
    to end the Prison Industrial Complex by challenging the belief
    that caging and controlling people makes us safe. We believe that
    basic necessities such as food, shelter, and freedom are what
    really make our communities secure. As such, our work is part of
    global struggles against inequality and powerlessness. The success
    of the movement requires that it reflect communities most affected
    by the PIC. Because we seek to abolish the PIC, we cannot support
    any work that extends its life or scope.

Occupy, Resist & Produce – Chicago

When the 250 workers at the Republic Windows and Doors factory in Chicago were told that the plant was shutting down, they decided to take matters into their own hands. On Friday, December 5, the workers occupied their factory in an act that echoes the sit-down strikes of the 1930s in the US and the occupation of factories during the 2001 crisis in Argentina.
