Imprisonment is a tool used to break movements, isolate organisers, and sever communities from their most committed fighters. And yet, again and again, movements and people have found ways to think, organise, educate, and build power from within the walls meant to contain them. Prisons have never been sealed spaces; they have been sites of political growth, ideological sharpening, and collective resistance.
This session will explore how resistance continues behind bars — how movements survive separation, how political traditions are carried and transformed inside, and how imprisoned people have shaped struggles on the outside. We will look at the forms of solidarity that have sustained political prisoners historically, and what responsibilities fall to us today as communities committed to liberation.
This Resistance Library event will consider what lessons we can take to strengthen our movements beyond the prison walls.
