Editorial note
Last verified July 8, 2026. Classification and indicators are drawn from the organization's own public statements; inclusion in this directory is not an endorsement of every position, tactic, or piece of content the organization publishes. Included because it remains a discoverable legacy movement resource and is important historically, but marked inactive because its own official notice states it closed and restructured into Abolitionists Rising.
