Description:
Edited by activist and former San Francisco 49ers super bowl quarterback Colin Kaepernick, Abolition for the People is a manifesto calling for a world beyond prisons and policing.
Abolition for the Peoplebrings together thirty essays representing a diversity of voices ― political prisoners, grassroots organisers, scholars, and relatives of those killed by the anti-Black terrorism of policing and prisons. This collection presents readers with a moral choice: 'Will you continue to be actively complicit in the perpetuation of these systems,' Kaepernick asks in his introduction, 'or will you take action to dismantle them for the benefit of a just future?'
provides a blueprint and vision for creating an abolitionist future where communities can be safe, valued, and truly free. 'Another world is possible,' Kaepernick writes, 'a world grounded in love, justice, and accountability, a world grounded in safety and good health, a world grounded in meeting the needs of the people.'
The complexity of abolitionist concepts and the enormity of the task at hand can be overwhelming. To help readers on their journey toward a greater understanding, each essay in the collection is followed by a reader’s guide that offers further provocations on the subject.
Abolition for the People begins by uncovering the lethal anti-Black histories of policing and incarceration in the United States. Juxtaposing today’s moment with 19th-century movements for the abolition of slavery, freedom fighter Angela Y. Davis writes 'Just as we hear calls today for a more humane policing, people
