Justice for Muslims Collective, HEART Women & Girls, Vigilant Love, the Partnership to End Gendered Islamophobia, Project South, the Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans (PANA), and the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) are thrilled to launch “Abolishing the War on Terror, Building Communities of Care” grassroots policy agenda.
This agenda is a labor of love, a product of lived expertise, and a model for community care. As the Biden Administration, alongside a new Congress sets the course for the next four years, we are calling for abolishing the War on Terror and reinvesting resources into structures of community care.
The agenda is broken into 2 main sections - one calling on abolishing and divesting from harmful state policies and the second building our communities of care. We call for abolishing and divesting from:
Violence, War, Imperialism & the War on Terror Infrastructure
Wars, Imperialism, and Militarism Abroad Under the War on Terror
Military Funding to Israel and Palestine
Immigration, Refugee, Asylum Policies, Programs & Institutions
Mass Surveillance
Prisons, Jails & Pipelines to Prison.
We call on investing into:
Anti-Poverty, Health Justice & Housing Justice
Covid-19
Reproductive Justice
Disability Justice
Community-Led Justice
Voting Rights, Census, & Structural Democratic Shifts
Gender-Based Violence and Gender Justice
Environmental and Climate Justice
We hope this agenda is used as an educational tool and resource for communities impacted by the War on Terror, grassroots organizations, movement groups, and policymakers in order to build power, heal, and enact change at the local, state, and federal level.
