"They Can't Beat All of Us"
A Report Back from the #FloridaAbolitionistGathering

#CrimethInc, March 15, 2025

"From February 28 to March 2, hundreds of #abolitionists and #anarchists from across the country converged in Gainesville for the first Florida Abolitionist Gathering (#FAG). Across a passionate weekend of #workshops, films, food, #debate, #ritual, and #protest, the contours of a robust regional #resistance movement came into focus.

"The #intergenerational, heavily #queer and #trans, and strongly multi-issue and anarchist group of abolitionists that converged in Florida articulated an expansive vision of #liberation anchored in the urgent need to dismantle the #PrisonIndustrial complex in all its manifestations. The gathering showed that even as liberals wring their hands about the death of democracy, scrappy groups of organizers continue to fight back—and sometimes win—deep within the belly of the beast."

"The newly released documentary Where Olive Trees Weep is a beautiful, poignant, heartbreaking film about the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. It also features Dr. Gabor Maté as he offers trauma-healing work to a group of Palestinian women tortured in Israeli prisons."

"They Will Beat the Memory Out of Us" on Pluto Books is a new book by @PeterGelderloos, and it's ready for pre-order:

"What is it about capitalist society, police repression, and our own bad movement strategies, that causes us to lose our collective memory? What kind of actions, skill sets, and strategies could we employ in our struggles to allow for an intergenerational continuity? How can we avoid dogma, the list of correct lessons and vetted truths, which only stifles our creativity and intelligence, and instead nourish a relationship with our collective history that gives us a wealth of experiences to sharpen our analysis of the unique present?

These are the topics I address in my new book, which I’m really excited to announce today!"

Again today a teen contacted us after being cited by law enforcement while biking. We love working with youth. And our fav #BicyclingMonterey projects have embraced all ages, e.g., #Intergenerational Rides bikemonterey.org/new-ground-fo and so many more.

That was on our mind when we read:

“'There are whole industries where older people are uncommon,’ he added, pointing to #advertising, #entertainment and #technology. 'Most people’s #networks consist only of people 10 yrs #older or 10 yrs #younger than they are.’

#Generativity refers to...'a developmental need older people experience, assisting younger generations to create a #BetterWorld that they themselves won’t live to see.

"'It’s only been 150 yrs or so since people went to anyone other than the oldest person in a community for #advice about finding a mate or what crops to plant in a drought. It’s a dangerous experiment to have a society in which that doesn’t happen.’” nytimes.com/2024/02/18/health/

Incomes achieved by the children of immigrants relative to parental income (intergenerational mobility) depend a lot on the child’s age of arrival to Canada, according to Marie Connolly at the UQAM Immigration & Intergenerational Mobility Workshop grch.esg.uqam.ca/en/workshop-d

A marginal concession to demographic reality in the #Intergenerational Report, noting that "The old-age dependency ratio refers to the number of people aged 65 and over for every 100 people of *traditional* working age (15 to 64)" [emphasis on "traditional", which might be better stated as "obsolete".

Excellent research about growing up together. Strong correlation of education outcomes btw siblings in 53 developing countries born 1970-99 implies early-life experiences shaped adult outcomes more than in developed countries. Implies less social mobility, consistent w greater inequality. Big differences within & btw regions
