Defund Fear: Safety Without Policing, Prisons, and Punishment by Zach Norris
5.0
This book is a MUST READ for everyone!
Through his framework of fear, Norris demonstrates how we have been conditioned by what he refers to as the "Architects of Anxiety," "the fear mongers and the fear-profiters, people who manipulate our anxieties so that we buy what they want us to buy and vote the way that they want us to vote."
Norris goes on to show us how we can fight this framework, by shifting the focus from crimes to harms and by expanding the concept of "we" in lieu of "us vs. them."
