“If we want to change the world as it exists, we have to not just express or condemnation of how it looks right now but offer an alternative version of where we want it to go.”

“So much of the anxiety we experience comes from the fear that things will remain forever as they are now, weather that is the individual worry that we will always struggle with sleep or self-image or larger concerns that the police will always play the same role in our society as they do at present. There is nothing to say that such things won’t happen – no one can predict the future, as reassuring as that might be – but one of the ways to avoid giving into despair is to simply say “no.” I believe police abolition is possible, and I choose to live in light of that fact and continue to work toward making it a reality.”
