Dear community,
First we want to thank so many of you for joining us at Beyond the Bars 2020. It was an incredible few days to gather together to connect and to plot on the world we want, and to navigate the world we are in. So much has changed since we gathered and we hope that this finds you well and connected as much as we can be at this moment.
We are so thankful to everyone who joined us and to those spoke and presented. We are excited to share videos from Thursday, Friday and Saturday and to share photos as well.
Videos from Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday plenaries are available here:
Women Transcending: The Energy of Collective Leadership
Building the Movement: Freedom Plans
Challenging a Carceral Soceity: Visions, Strategies and Decisions

We were one of the last gatherings at Columbia University before large events were cancelled and before COVID-19 began to spread in NYC and beyond. Given this we hope that all of you have been and will continue to heed the guidance of the public health community.
Finally, we will be sending out information about the calls to action soon.
