Abolish Mandatory Reporting and Family Policing

This is a conversation with Erin Miles Cloud (Co-Founder of Movement for Family Power), Jasmine Wali, and Shannon Perez-Darby moderated by Dean Spade and hosted by Barnard Center for Research on Women.

How do movements for abolition of mandatory reporting and family policing intersect with larger movements for abolition of the criminal legal system? In this conversation, we discuss the history of and harms associated with mandatory reporting; its role in policing Black, brown, and indigenous families; and how together we can abolish mandatory reporting while building strong, safe, and connected communities.
