1) Das Bild der Polizei als "Freund und Helfer" ist tief in weiten Teilen unserer Gesellschaft verankert. Während der Demo am 14.01. hat sich ein anderes Bild gezeigt. Doch längst nicht zum ersten Mal. Es macht deutlich: Polizei ist keine Sicherheit. 
2) Polizei ist klassistisch
Die Polizei schützt die Interessen von Konzernen wie RWE, die Menschen und Umwelt ausbeuten. Sie schützt vor allem deren Profite und das Eigentum, das Wenige zu großen Teilen besitzen, statt das Wohlergehen und die Existenzgrundlagen aller Menschen.

3) Polizei ist rassistisch
Zahlreiche Polizeimorde von #ouryjalloh bis Mohammed Dramée, Racial Profiling und verfälschte Polizeiberichterstattung wie zuletzt im Silvester Diskurs zeigen: die Polizei wendet Gewalt vor allem gegen BiPoc und marginalisierte Gruppen an.

I’m on the road but wanted to get this thread out as the creep of fascism feels larger and closer. Another resource list, this time using @MsKellyMHayes’s self-reflection prompts on planning for disaster, including @prisonculture’s guiding questions for moments of injustice. 🧵
Here is the episode of Movement Memos where @MsKellyMHayes discusses her prompts. truthout.org/audio/planning…
A wonderful complementary article is Deana Ayer’s blogpost “Balancing urgency and patience when the world is burning around us.” actbuildchange.com/blog/balancing…
As a survivor of crime, I want more than anything to know others will not endure the same pain I did. Above all else, I want collective safety. Our current system doesn’t create that, in fact, it perpetuates cycles of violence & commits deep injustices in the name of survivors.
2/ We need to stop pretending that we don’t know that there are better ways. Across the country, organizers, community organizations & even young people are innovating with better solutions. #transformativejustice #restoreativejustice #donomoreharm
3/ Who are the innovators you know doing this great work? Practicing violence prevention, harm reduction, seeking restorative & transformative solutions? Add them to this thread to amplify their efforts! #cjreform #harmreduction #endmassincarceration #peoplenotprisons
let me just remind y'all why I love and #DonateToCASS @SafeSpacesDC (thread):
1. I came to CASS very impacted + traumatized by #StreetHarassment and wanted alternatives to carceral responses to sexual assault, domestic violence and workplace harassment. bit.ly/givetocass

2. @SafeSpacesDC fills a gap, bringing attention + solutions to the way that gendered harassment intersects with police harassment + highlighting the specific ways gendered and racialized street harassment intersects for women + LGBTQIA+ people of color! bit.ly/givetocass
3. @SafeSpacesDC has done organizing to pass legislation like the landmark #StreetHarassment Prevention Act, worked on campaigns like #DecrimNowDC + helped to get fare evasion decriminalized in DC to end ALL gendered violence, including state violence. bit.ly/givetocass
One of the tricky parts of doing accountability work around partner violence is that usually you’re navigating a lot of compounding and overlapping trauma reactions & maladaptive patterns from many directions, sometimes even including your own! It can get real messy real fast.
The more I do this the more I see how crucial it is to establish safety and collaboration, to take time and space to not rush through. Just as in a phase oriented treatment of trauma, phase one is establishing safety, so too is that critical in accountability work for this stuff.
If you don’t have a group that trusts each other & has at least the basics of how trauma manifests & functions down, the work will be at LEAST infinitely harder and at worst continuously damaging & retraumatizing all around.
