Why This Book Matters
Abolition for the People is a powerful anthology that brings together voices from across movements, communities, and generations. Edited by Colin Kaepernick, this collection challenges the idea that police and prisons are necessary. Instead, it presents a vision of safety rooted in care, accountability, and collective power.
For nonprofit leaders, educators, and organizers, this book is more than a call to action. It is a critical tool for reflection and reimagining. It asks us to examine how carceral thinking shows up in our work, from policies and partnerships to programming and funding. It invites us to resist the idea that reform is enough and instead commit to deep, structural change.
This book can be used to guide coalition meetings, staff trainings, strategic planning, or community education efforts. It offers grounding and inspiration for anyone working to create systems that center healing, not punishment. Abolition for the People helps organizations align their internal practices with the world they are trying to build.
