    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview:

    #1 Prisons, policing, and the criminal punishment system in general are racist, oppressive, and ineffective. Abolition is a vision of a restructured society in a world where we have everything we need: food, shelter, education, health, art, beauty, and more things that are foundational to our personal and community safety.

    #2 We must remember that we will also need to change. Our imagination of what a different world can be is limited. We are deeply entangled in the very systems we are organizing to change.

    #3 We must simultaneously reduce contact between people and the criminal legal system. We must not only change how we address harm, but also how we address everything.

    #4 I dread the summer because of the increased police presence and aggression. It seems like every summer, there is a new video of police brutality against Black people.

      Feb 18, 2020

      — ‘Human trafficking’? That can’t possibly be a real thing happening around me… Or could it?  Those were the questions running through my mind as I sat on my friend’s couch in Sydney, Australia back in 2008 listening to her tell me about a new nonpro

      FEAR IS A DREAM KILLER. Fear makes me think of all the negative outcomes that could happen if I do something out of my comfort zone: Somebody might not like it. I don’t know how to do it. People will talk about me. Or . . . it might not work. I weary

      #3

      We must simultaneously reduce contact between people and the criminal legal system. We must not only change how we address harm, but also how we address everything.

      #4

      I dread the summer because of the increased police presence and aggression. It seems like every summer, there is a new video of police brutality against Black people.

      #5

      The conflation of Blackness and criminality is not new, and is still seen today in the police force.
