Outlaw Healing: Criminalized Women and the Politics of Repair

Step 1: Donate to Sameer Project here (sugg. donation $40).

Step 2: Register for “Outlaw Healing” here.

This workshop introduces participants to what Nadj calls "outlaw healing," which is how criminalized women who use drugs imagine and experiment with transformation, solidarity, and repair beyond incarceration and forced cure.

They will then break down the main themes of "outlaw healing" that are embedded in the stories of these women and ask participants to talk with one another about what it would mean to practice this in their own lives. Beginning from the premise that people who lead criminalized lives have a lot to teach about surviving and evading repression, this workshop will offer space to think outside and beyond the law.

Nadj is a longtime abolitionist, transformative justice, and harm reduction organizer based in NYC and Hartford, CT. When they're not riding the Metro North, they can be found reading science fiction, hiking, and knitting.
