Summary

As a politic and a practice, abolition increasingly shapes our political moment-halting the construction of new jails and propelling movements to divest from policing. Yet erased from this landscape are not only the central histories of feminist-usually queer, anticapitalist, grassroots, and women of color-organizing that continue to cultivate abolition but a recognition of a stark reality: abolition is our best response to endemic forms of state and interpersonal gender and sexual violence. Amplifying the analysis and the theories of change generated from vibrant, community-based organizing, Abolition. Feminism. Now. surfaces necessary historical genealogies, key internationalist learnings, and everyday practices to grow our collective and flourishing present and futures.
