Abolition Feminism

Abolition is not absence, it is presence. What the world will become already exists in fragments and pieces, experiments and possibilities. So those who feel in their gut deep anxiety that abolition means knock it all down, scorch the earth and start something new, let that go. Abolition is building the future from the present, in all of the ways we can.

– Ruth Wilson Gilmore

Abolitionist Futures have generated an extensive ‘Introduction to Abolition 2022 Reading List’. We are sharing with gratitude and draw particular attention towards the section on feminist, queer, antiracist approaches to abolition.

Below, we are sharing some additional resources, mostly from 2022 onwards.
