PARC (Prison Activist Resource Center) is a prison abolitionist all volunteer grass roots group committed to exposing and challenging the institutionalized racism of the prison industrial complex. We are also committed to developing and practising anti-racism as individuals and throughout our organization. We produce a Support Directory that is free to prisoners on request. And, we provide support for prisoners and their families, as well as for educators and activists. This work includes building networks for action and producing materials that expose human rights violations while fundamentally challenging the rapid expansion of the prison industrial complex.Our Main Goals
* To expose the myths that sustain widespread injustices in prisons and in the communities most affected by mass imprisonment.
* To inspire and motivate people to take positive action against the mass-incarceration system and for prisoners' human and civil rights.
* To provide practical support to activists who are taking such action.How We’re Structured
The Prison Activist Resource Center is an all-volunteer collective. All decisions are made collectively, at our monthly General Meetings. We also have two advisory boards, which are consulted for all major decisions. PARC is committed to anti-racist organizing both within our own organization and in the anti-prison movement as a whole.
