Leftist Nonfiction - Lets Read Our TBR!! - hosted by freckled_frog_boi

Read about Prison Abolition/ ACAB
This is a large category and hopefully will allow you to explore the many genres within this, like poetry, short stories, or memoir. 
A well-known author to look into for this prompt is Angela Davis. I definitely have waited too long to read her works.
