Holding queer feminist, and abolitionist principles in the deeps of CAM’s work, combatting colonization and Neo-liberalism, against US occupation and war, patraicahal violence, and capitalism. CAM has been fighting to shift material conditions in Black communities through their organizing work in DC and Chicago, to combat white supremacy, state violence, imperialism, and capitalist empire structures. As a 12-year-old youth, CAM led a campaign to combat the inhumane practices at the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center. While organizing years later in Chicago, CAM joined Love and Protect, which is an organization founded by Mariame Kaba that supports survivors criminalized for self-defense, which resulted in survivors receiving reduced incarceration time and early prison releases.
