This New Year's Eve, noise demonstrations took place in dozens of cities across the so-called US and Canada, against a backdrop of growing prisoner resistance behind bars and a record setting year of deadly police violence, as cops killed "at least 1,176 people" in the US alone.

"A gaggle of prison abolitionists gathered on New Year’s Eve to lift the spirits of community members held captive inside the draconian Cook County Jail, the second largest county jail in this whole damn incarceration nation.
People blasted music from speakers and banged makeshift instruments, shooting off fireworks, marching around the entire jail making sure all divisions saw some love, holding up signs and banners like Fuck Cop City and Pretrial Fairness Now."

"Sometimes it feels like the only trace left by uprisings are their prison sentences....Yet, standing together outside the local juvie on a balmy winter’s night, I know this is not true. Uprisings live on in our gestures, in our friendships, in our hearts. Much of the ferocity may have faded, and the weight of the present may hang heavy on our shoulders, but we have been been irreversibly transformed by the experiences of potential of those days in May...."
