This year's Beyond the Bars 2022 Conference will be on Saturday, April 9 at Riverside Church in New York City.

Beyond the Bars: Movement Building in a World on Fire will bring together movements for decarceration, abolition, and climate and environmental justice to develop solidarity, share analysis, exchange strategies, and build power.

This conference aims to not only confront the dire, intersecting realities of climate catastrophe, mass punishment, criminalization and incarceration, but to explore how we are working towards good relations, with each other, our communities and the earth we want and deserve. Three panels over the course of the day, including scholars, organizers, healers, and artists, will explore these intersections in the hopes of strengthening our collective work.

Registration will be live on March 21.

Please note: because of COVID capacity restrictions, the in-person conference will limited but the live stream will be available to all. All in-person visitors must show proof of vaccination and wear a mask during the event. We will send out more information about registration soon.
