As we begin to feel the limits of phone zaps as a method of direct action more intensely in the coming months, new sites of direct confrontation with the carceral state must be explored. https://twitter.com/TheAbbyNews/status/1257158793185632262
Abolitionists in the Midwest have set a strong example for how direct action against the prison industrial complex can be carried out in the age of COVID. Moving the struggle from the cages to the front yards of DOC officials and wardens. https://itsgoingdown.org/direct-action-to-freethemall-from-stateville-prison-to-the-front-yard-of-its-warden/
Abolitionists in the Midwest have also been targeting points of intersection between the PIC and NPIC more directly in recent days, with May Day popping off like no other city https://itsgoingdown.org/vacant-migrant-child-jail-building-stormed-in-chicago-on-may-day/
Furthermore, in this recent interview a homie conducted with Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin, some more points of infrastructural weakness in the PIC are explored

To quote Kom'boa: "[T]he movement on the outside has to be supportive of the prisoners' struggle...but... activists on the outside have to start pressuring the state... while the movement [inside] is building.......
....This doesn't mean standing on the outside with a picket sign, but going to [and disrupting] where the officials have their meetings, and these [related] corporations.... we should be doing it that way... I'm not sure [these] forces [today] are looking for a mass approach."
