About me
Mon Mohapatra (she/they) is a writer, organizer and artist originally from India, based on Canarsee Land (NYC) whose work involves building capacity for abolitionist organizing through political education, participatory research, and direct action. In particular, her work focuses on ending pretrial detention by resourcing criminalized and imprisoned people to organize themselves, while creating opportunities for collaboration on anti-carceral strategies across feminist, anti-caste, and anti-capitalist movements. Mon was a founding coordinator of the No New Jails Network, a national network of campaigns fighting new jail construction and to close old jails, without expanding supervision and social control.
