"Organizing is both science and art. It is thinking through a
vision, a strategy, and then figuring out who your targets are,
always being concerned about power, always being concerned about how
you're going to actually build power in order to be able to push your
issues, in order to be able to get the target to actually move in the
way that you want to."
What if social
transformation and liberation isn't about waiting for someone else to
come along and save us? What if ordinary people have the power to
collectively free ourselves? In this timely collection of essays and
interviews, Mariame Kaba reflects on the deep work of abolition and
transformative political struggle.
With chapters on
seeking justice beyond the punishment system, transforming how we
deal with harm and accountability, and finding hope in collective
struggle for abolition, Kaba's work is deeply rooted in the
relentless belief that we can fundamentally change the world. As Kaba
writes, "Nothing that we do that is worthwhile is done alone."
