Christians for Abolition

I’m the founder and director of Christians for the Abolition of Prisons, a project providing theological, educational, and advocacy resources about abolition of the prison-industrial complex for progressive Christians.

Visit the Christians for Abolition site for resources and details.

Projects include

The Abolition Lectionary Project

The #AbolitionLectionary project is a weekly blog series presenting meditations on the texts from the Revised Common Lectionary, interpreted in light of the principles and values of prison and police abolition. Over 15 contributors have participated in this ongoing series which began in Advent 2020.

Educational Resources

Through Christians for Abolition, I offer educational programming for congregations and faith communities, as well as extensive collected resources on the connections between Christian theology and prison-industrial complex abolition, as well as related topics such as restorative and transformative justice.

Selected resources I’ve created for the site:

A Christian Case for Prison Abolition

Toolkit: Building Space for Non-Punitive Accountability in Christian Communities

Introduction to Abolitionist Theologies Bible Study Curriculum
