Perhaps of all MK’s books, I connected to this one the most. I loved all the examples of campaigns, strategies, and actions that connect abolitionist theory to on-the-ground practice.

If you (want to) organize things in any way, shape, or form: read this book. 

Do know it's very USA centered, so not everything might be as applicable to you, but the basic message of care and connection is important for everyone.

“we are world builders. Just as great writers construct vivid, fictional realms that we as readers can actively envision, our minds create vast landscapes that fill in the gaps in our understandings of the past, present, and future. Our mental maps of the world, and of history itself, are the products of our own world-building process. We fill in the empty spaces with theory, prediction, and possibility.”

The authors do a wonderful job of giving bite size definitions (and then big ones at the end) and use storytelling to connect you to the topics. They asked a lot of questions, and many had me sitting and thinking about what I am actively doing and where I can improve.

Read this with a reading group full of public health people interested in abolition and read alongside my incarcerated reading buddy, Ken. This book is highly accessible and uses lots of movement vignettes and personal stories to offer words of wisdom for organizing. I think the form and structure made it digestible and engaging.
