From this unprecedented cop city RICO indictment to the nation-wide retaliation against students and others protesting the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the repression of social movements has become a shared experience for activists across North America. In this context, the Pittsburgh Anti-Repression Convergence (or, PARC) was organized this past summer. Over the course of three days, the Convergence committed to “studying the evolving tools of repression and what we have learned in our work to destroy them.” Panels, workshops, and group conversations drew from existing examples of jail and prison support, movement defense, and the various uses of technology as strategies to counter the state violence, surveillance, and trumped-up charged inflicted on movements.
