demilitaRISE

DemilitaRISE is a working group bringing together GGJ members who are involved in grassroots organizing or people impacted by U.S. militarism, both at home through police and ICE violence, occupied Indigenous lands, racial profiling, mass incarcerations and detention, and globally from war-impacted communities, as well as veterans enduring grave trauma.

Feminist Abolitionism, along with About Face’s framework of the ‘Many-Legged Monster of U.S. Militarism,’ have been aligning frameworks to understand how interconnected our different struggles are to one another.

DemilitaRISE is building shared alignment across our members, growing our collective political power as we work together to advance a divest/invest strategy to directly move resources away from police, prisons, the Pentagon, and war, and invest in Black, Brown, and Indigenous-led restorative justice, reparations, community leadership, and collective healing. The work of demilitaRISE is a core pillar of GGJ’s shared work toward building a Feminist, Anti-racist, Regenerative Economy (FAREconomy).
