We Do This 'Til We Free Us: Abolitionist Organizing and Transforming Justice (Paperback)
by Mariame Kaba
Description
What if social transformation and liberation isn’t about waiting for someone else to come along and save us? What if ordinary people have the power to collectively free ourselves?
.
In this timely collection of essays and interviews, Mariame Kaba reflects on prison industrial complex abolition and a vision for collective liberation.
.
With a foreword by Naomi Murakawa and chapters on seeking justice beyond the punishment system, transforming how we deal with harm and accountability, and finding hope in collective struggle for abolition, Kaba’s work is deeply rooted in the relentless belief that we can fundamentally change the world. As Kaba writes, “Nothing that we do that is worthwhile is done alone."
