Advocating for social justice for the voiceless. Coming to American University's campus in February 2013. Want to find out more or get involved? Yay!
The purpose of the New Abolitionists is to advocate for social justice for the voiceless, specifically children and those who are challenged by the circumstance of poverty and the inequalities of the urban education system. By combining education and action, we seek to empower our generation to address the pervasive issues of inequality in America today. Email us at [email protected] and we'll add you to our listserv!

"The experiment reportedly created a small explosion that caused the bottle's top to pop off and produced smoke. Although no one was hurt and no property was damaged, Wilmot was charged with “possession/discharge of a weapon on school property and discharging a destructive device,” according to WTSP.
