Ahhhhhh this #MariameKaba presentation on zines as community archives was thrilling. Loved the connections with early pamphlets and magazines made by Black people in the US, and her thoughts on the relevance of DIY publishing in, uh, high censorship environments.

> I tell people that our #criminal #punishment system is #racist, that it's #classist, that its #sexist, that it's #transphobic, and that it's more. I tell people that we spend a lot of #money on locking people up in our country. Too much money on locking people up in our country. $70B to be exact, every single year, to lock people up...even with all of that...we're still a country that lives with #fear...

@abolitionbb I started #WeDoThisTilWeFreeUs today. I'm a huge fan of #MariameKaba's work
I also appreciate the incredible lineage that #AngelaDavis has contributed toward the #abolition movement.
I read #ToniMorrison when I was fairly young, so I'm going to have to revisit some of her work. I think the last book I read of hers was #Beloved
I'll have to check out #KuwasiBalagoon.

Curious to know which books and/or organizations shaped your #SocialJustice and #RacialEquity lensLooking at this book list from https://antiraciststarterpack.com/
The first book I read on #RaceConscious perspectives was #RaceMatters from #CornelWest
I typically recommend #HowToBeAnAntiRacist by #IbramXKendi to folks who are new to learning about #antiracism and #WeDoThisTilWeFreeUs by #MariameKaba for folks who are learning about #CommunityOrganizing with an #abolitionist lens
The orgs I recommend following to learn the basics around social justice issues are #MovementForBlackLives #M4BL #NDNCollective #ShowingUpForRacialJustice #SURJ #CriticalResistance and so many others

"There’s this fight that the way to abolish the death penalty is to commute everybody to life without parole. And I just can’t get behind that. That’s still physical, social, and civic death.
“But at least they’re alive … ”
That to me is an absolute perfect example of a reformist reform, which actually makes it less likely that we’re going to get people out of jail and prisons."
