    I'm truly honored, proud and excited to be a part of this expanded anthology of ABOLITION FOR THE PEOPLE. New essays, a reader's guide and more that can allow us to, as editor Colin Kaepernick put it, "open up radical possibilities for a future where our communities can thrive."

    After months of hard work, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be publishing our first title, ABOLITION FOR THE PEOPLE: THE MOVEMENT FOR A FUTURE WITHOUT POLICING & PRISONS, on 10/12/21. This anthology is edited by & features the contributions of over 30 writers.

    I'm seeing reports of educators resigning to protect their own wellbeing and/or the health of their family members during the pandemic. Has even ONE school or university administrator nationwide resigned in protest of the dangerous policies they are being asked to implement?

    Yikes. Spelman professors have officially went on strike.

    Geofencing warrants—where cops ask Google to tell them everyone who was at a certain location at certain time—have increased by 12X over over the past 3 years.

    Google just released data re: geofence warrants as part of their transparency report. This is the first time we get a better understanding of how increasingly widespread such reverse location warrants are. (csv at bottom)

    Perhaps one of the most important points made in “What About The Rapists” resource guide: "70% of survivors choose not to report their sexual assault to police. Any response to violence that begins with 'rethinking' policing begins with a full 70% of survivors excluded."
