ADDITIONALLY, WE CO-HOSTED A POST-ELECTION DEBRIEF MASS MEETING TO DISCUSS HOW THE ELECTION RESULTS IMPACTED THE ANTI-MASS INCARCERATION MOVEMENT AND TO ENCOURAGE OUR BASE TO CONTINUE TO BE INVOLVED IN STATE AND LOCAL ADVOCACY. VOLUNTEER CANVASSING PROGRAM: AMP HELPED TO COORDINATE A BASE OF VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE DIRECTLY IMPACTED OR DEEPLY CARE ABOUT MASS INCARCERATION IN PENNSYLVANIA. THESE VOLUNTEERS PARTICIPATED IN CANVASSING IN THE WEST PHILADELPHIA AND GERMANTOWN NEIGHBORHOODS OF PHILADELPHIA ON THE WEEKENDS LEADING UP TO THE SPRING PRIMARY ELECTION, SHARING INFORMATION WITH VOTERS ABOUT THE ELECTIONS WHILE ALSO IDENTIFYING OTHERS WHO ALSO CARE ABOUT MASS INCARCERATION AND MIGHT WANT TO GET MORE INVOLVED WITH OUR WORK. PAID CANVASSING PROGRAM: AMP LAUNCHED A PAID CANVASSING PROGRAM AHEAD OF THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION TO IDENTIFY AND ENGAGE NEIGHBORS IN PRIMARILY WEST PHILADELPHIA AND GERMANTOWN WHO CARE ABOUT NON-CARCERAL COMMUNITY SAFETY, AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO TURN OUT TO VOTE. CANVASS LEADERS KNOCKED ON APPROXIMATELY 10,000 DOORS FROM SEPTEMBER THROUGH ELECTION DAY. WE ALSO TRAINED ELECTION DEFENDERS TO BRING CARE AND JOY TO SEVERAL POLLING LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT WEST PHILADELPHIA AND ADDITIONAL CANVASSERS TO GET OUT THE VOTE ON ELECTION DAY. COMMUNITY SAFETY TOWNHALLS AND EVENTS: LEADING UP TO THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION, AMP HOSTED MULTIPLE VIRTUAL AND IN PERSON TOWNHALLS TO PROVIDE POLITICAL EDUCATION AND ENGAGE NEIGHBORS AROUND ALTERNATIVE PUBLIC SAFETY SOLUTIONS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING. PARTICIPANTS HEARD FROM EXPERTS, ELECTED OFFICIALS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, WATCHED PERTINENT MEDIA, HAD THOUGHTFUL BRAINSTORMS AND DISCUSSIONS, AND WERE ABLE TO COME AWAY WITH KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS TO HAVE DEEP CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. ADDITIONALLY, WE HOSTED A RALLY AND DISCUSSION CIRCLE IN MEMORY OF A COMMUNITY MEMBER KILLED BY POLICE IN 2020, AS WELL AS A COMMUNITY COOKOUT TO GIVE AWAY RESOURCES AND INFORMATION FOR VOTERS. MOVEMENT CELEBRATIONS: WE CO-HOSTED TWO SOCIAL EVENTS, "DECARCERATE AND CHILL," A SUMMERTIME OUTDOOR FESTIVAL AND "DECARCERATE AND BE MERRY," A HOLIDAY PARTY.
