Escalation: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:40, 11 November 2022

Escalation is the “ [progressive] increase in the means used in a conflict.” -Usito ^[1]

Through increasingly ambitious, disruptive actions, escalation can take shape. This leads to polarization which forces the population to take a position, and hopefuly act, on an issue. - The HUB

Stages of escalation ^[2]

Bring the issue into the public arena	Protest (i.e. demonstrations, petitions, marches) Presenting alternatives (i.e. teach-in lectures).
Legal actions that deal with the issue	Legal non-cooperation (i.e. strikes, consumer boycotts). Legal innovative activities (i.e. fair trade, cooperative businesses, nonviolent intervention).
Illegal actions that deal with the issue	Civil disobedience (i.e. sit-ins, blockades, strikes, war resistance). *Note that not all forms of civil disobedience are illegal.

-''"I tend to think of abolition as one result of transformative justice: abolition is the end of prisons; transformative justice is the methods people use to uproot injustice patterns in communities. I tend to think of abolition as a totality, and I think that can be tricky. People set out to abolish slavery and we ended up with the prison industrial complex because while there were surface and policy level shifts, the culture did not shift. That deep underlying racism and classism remains and is now roaring to the surface as we write this. So, while I identify as an abolitionist, I find speaking about the iterative tangible work of transformative justice makes more sense to me now–I don’t simply want the prisons gone, I want a radically different way of interacting with each other to grow."''

-''"I understand abolition to be a necessary part of transformative justice because prisons, and the PIC, are major sites of individual and collective violence, abuse, and trauma. However, transformative justice is and must also be a critical part of abolition work because we will need to build alternatives to how we respond to harm, violence, and abuse. Just because we shut down prisons, does not mean that these will stop. Transformative justice has roots in abolition work and is an abolitionist framework, but goes beyond abolishing prisons (and slavery) and asks us to end–and transform the conditions that perpetuate–generational cycles of violence such as rape, sexual assault, child abuse, child sexual abuse, domestic violence, intimate partner abuse, war, genocide, poverty, human trafficking, police brutality, murder, stalking, sexual harassment, all systems of oppression, dangerous societal norms, and trauma."''
