Publisher description
Derecka Purnell, author of the viral The Atlantic article "How I Became a Police Abolitionist, " invites readers to imagine a world without police through her journey as an activist. As more and more people in the United States and beyond grapple with the realities of police violence, there is increasing discussion about defunding and even abolishing the police. But many people are asking what abolition means and what alternatives might look like. Enter Derecka Purnell, organizer, journalist, graduate of Harvard Law, and a rising voice in this historical moment of protest and possibility. By chronicling her own journey toward embracing the politics of abolition (which she clearly and effectively outlined in her viral article "How I Became a Police Abolitionist" in The Atlantic), Abolition: An Invitation invites readers to imagine and create new communities that eradicate systems of oppression and foster safety, equality, and justice
