hi, i've wanted to share my book cover for a while. here it is. especially now, i believe that more people will realize that we deserve a world without police. i hope this book is an offering that will help as we dream, discuss and debate what it takes

https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/675803/becoming-abolitionists-by-derecka-purnell/

I know the police kill 3 people a day. It doesn't have to be this way. This time, two more high profile police killings are coinciding with Chauvin's trial. But I'm so glad people are rising up in Chicago & Minnesota because convictions won’t save lives

and we have to ask ourselves, as i ask in the book, do we want convictions or do we want to live? do we want tired reforms or do we want freedom? do we want to keep putting our hope in the systems that destroy our families? communities?

i hope we choose us, each other, and our planet. i believe that we will

my id text didn't save! its:
