Decarcerate Western Mass is offering a summer film series focused on prison abolition and how it overlaps with other struggles like immigration, criminalized mutual aid, and more.

Each screening will include a talk-back or activity aimed at building political will for abolition of the prison industrial complex in Western Mass and beyond.

We’ll ask for donations at the door, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Masks are always required.

Screening location is subject to change. Please check our
Instagram page for updates.
