The reality of mandatory reporting can make it hard for young people to know that if they reach out to adults for help will that adult have to report what you tell them? This zine helps answer the question, “What is mandatory reporting?” and helps explore what support you have, what support you need, and uses art, poetry, and music to explore what’s possible.

This is the first in a series of ‘zines engaging questions raised in Interrupting Criminalization’s Abolition and the State: A Discussion Guide.

In this edition of BYATB, Mariame Kaba and zara raven will discuss Queenie’s Crew, an experiment in supporting kids and caregivers in learning about abolition through monthly activities, books, events, and discussions. We’ll share tangible actions that people can take toward building communities of care with children in the spaces where you are. We’ll also invite participants to share about some of the ways they are already building these communities, discuss the barriers and challenges that arise along the way, and offer specific resources to support folks in learning to build abolitionist, intergenerational communities of care.
