Justice for Angelo Quinto Abolitionist Toolkit

Angelo Quinto was a 30-year-old Filipino American who was killed by police during a mental health crisis.

Quinto is just one of many who have been killed via state-sanctioned violence and incompetence in the past year and in history. His unjust death reaffirms what we have always known: the police are not equipped to protect us.

There is a way out: through abolition of the prison-industrial complex (PIC).

Below is a toolkit to work towards abolition. If you have any resources to add, email us, tweet us, or DM us on Instagram or Facebook.

Advocate for funding community and life-affirming programs—such as guaranteed housing, food, education, and mental health resources—instead of investing in the police (Yes, this includes skipping out on body cams and training reforms).
