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 People brings together 30 essays representing a diversity of voices - political prisoners, grassroots organizers, scholars, and relatives of those killed by the anti-Black terrorism of policing and prisons. This collection presents listeners 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?”
Powered by courageous hope and imagination, Abolition for the People 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 listeners on their journey toward a greater understanding, each essay in the collection is followed by a listener’s guide that offers further provocations on the subject.
Newcomers to these ideas might ask: Is the abolition of the prison industrial complex too drastic? Can we really get rid of prisons and policing altogether? As writes organizer and New York Times best-selling author Mariame Kaba, “The short answer: We can. We must. We are.”
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 then called for a more humane slavery.” Drawing on decades of scholarship and personal experience, each author deftly refutes the notion that police and prisons can be made fairer and more humane through piecemeal reformation. As Derecka Purnell argues, “reforms do not make the criminal legal system more just, but obscure its violence more efficiently.”
Blending rigorous analysis with first-person narratives, Abolition for the People definitively makes the case that the only political future worth building is one without and beyond police and prisons.
You won’t find all the answers here, but you will find the right questions - questions that open up radical possibilities for a future where all communities can thrive.

It’s an eye-opener start to finish.

“…of those killed by the anti-Black terrorism of policing and prisons…”
Um. There are rapists, murderers, theives, in ALL human population groups, so… huh? Wait. What?
Mmmm. Lets see… Edited by… Colin. Little Hyper-Privileged Colin? The Guy who has the astounding ability to… kneel when there is background music?
Heh.
Ok then. So this is like… being on time, science, mathematics, wearing a suit, and other assorted anti-Black Colonialist activities?
It never gets old watching people paint the future of their own and other’s children towards self-destruction. Oh. Right. Little Colin doesn’t have any children. Right. Of course.

Congratulations, NukerRabbit. I fully expected you to go for the low hanging fruit of “athletes and former athletes should just shut up, because we don’t need their political opinions”. So, congrats for having the courage to be wrong in new and interesting ways.
I don’t see how your (albeit correct) assertion that there are rapists and murderers, et al, in all ethnic groups is in any way a refuting of “the anti-Black terrorism of policing. Unless you’re stating that cops rape and murder all ethnicities equally, I guess.
Yes, edited by Colin. Colin, who carried a 4.0 all throughout high school and college, and could have played baseball or basketball just as well as football, but chose to give up pro sports in favor of something he felt was more important. Colin, who has a degree in business management, who wrote a children’s book and owns a publishing house.
Colin who, oh that’s right….had a kid in 2022.

Abolish prisons means we get a yearly purge, right? Asking for a friend.

Thanks for the book! @segascream you’re right. The many prejudiced, juvenile opinions made here are made out of ignorance and stupid#ty. The scope is what surprises me being that this is a book site where knowledge is freely disseminated.

Ha ha ha! PLEASE tell me this is satire!

Does anyone think it might be a good idea to first find a way to end crime BEFORE ending prisons? These people are lunatics.

I wish they would abolish the police. I have people sending messages to my mind. For five years my neighbor has. I think she wants me to come over. I don’t know how much longer I can resist her messages. It hurts my mind.

She runs her clothes dryer all the time. I think she does this to cover up the sounds of the humming of the cameras that she hid in my house. She lives alone and she spies on me. If they abolish the police I can take care of this.

anti-Black terrorism of policing and prisons
Obviously another racist who thinks racist means white people.
Shame they can’t understand that racism is a two way street if not a infinite junction.

The rich and privileged often believe that they can bring about utopia. I think that a year living on a council estate would show them how pathetic their arguments are. Their a lots of good people on council estates. Unfortunately it’s the one who isn’t that you find holding a baseball bat or blade before you that explains why police and prisons are a crucial reality.
