An Abolitionist's Handbook

In THE ABOLITIONIST'S HANDBOOK, Khan-Cullors charts a framework for how everyday activists can effectively fight for the liberation of Black people and the poor and disenfranchised, force reform, create a meaningful plan for reparations, and teach each other how to truly love our fellow (wo)man. Filled with relatable pedagogy on the history of abolitionism, a declaration of policies and institutions that need reform and actionable ways to get it done, a reimagining of what reparations look like for the forgotten, and real-life anecdotes from Cullors and an array of people fighting for true equity, THE ABOLITIONIST'S HANDBOOK offers a bold, innovative, and humanistic approach to how to be an productive modern-day abolitionist, leading with love, fierce compassion, and precision.
