In 2016, we co-founded Survived & Punished (S&P), a national formation that includes survivors, organizers, victim advocates, legal advocates and attorneys, policy experts, scholars, and currently and formerly incarcerated people. S&P organizes to de-criminalize efforts to survive domestic and sexual violence, support and free criminalized survivors, and abolish gender violence, policing, prisons, and deportations. S&P has affiliates in New York, Chicago, and California. It was co-founded by organizers from the Stand With Nan-Hui defense campaign, California Coalition for Women Prisoners, Love & Protect (then known as Chicago Alliance to Free Marissa Alexander), and the national Free Marissa Now Mobilization Campaign.

Our work is rooted in the fact that racialized aspects of gender violence and gendered aspects of mass criminalization have generally been overlooked. We believe that carcerality is a strategy that does not attend to the root causes of violence or other social problems. Rather, it simply disposes of those individuals that represent these problems. This is in large part why we reject criminalization.

It’s been 10 years since we launched Survived and Punished and in that time we have helped to free people from prison/jail, supported currently incarcerated survivors, and changed the narrative about criminalized survival.

Join us virtually on April 28th from 6:30 to 8:00 pm ET to celebrate our collective accomplishments and to mourn our losses.

We’re excited to screen “Exodus,” a film by Nimco Sheikhaden. The trailer for the film is here.
