I worried this might feel too similar to We Do This Til We Free Us, and I was delightfully wrong. I loved the focus in this particular collaboration, drawing on organizing stories and reflections to specifically inform and uplift current and future organizers (vs. describing a politics of abolition, etc.). There were several moments that deeply resonated with where I've been in the *10 days* of this new administration, calling us to relentlessly believe in a better future while we recognize that a lot of things are really, truly awful right now. Once again, it's a reminder that the racism, classism and fascism we face are not new and not specific to the Republican party, and we're called to continue our work in every administration. This really does feel like a capsule of the conversations you have "on the drive home," and I would highly recommend it to others who desperately want to learn more from those who have committed their lives to abolition and community care.
