When organizing partners disagree on whether mass incarceration is about race or class

My co-organizer and I disagree about whether mass incarceration is fundamentally about race or class - they see it as primarily racial oppression while I think economic inequality is the deeper driver - and it's affecting how we frame our campaign messaging. We're both looking at the same statistics but drawing completely different conclusions about what needs to change.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Even shared commitment to justice cannot resolve fundamental disagreements about which forms of oppression are primary.
