Matt McGorry Instagram – “An Abolitionist’s Handbook: 12 Steps to Changing Yourself and The World” by Patrisse Cullors ( @osopepatrisse )

Abolition is about divesting from policing and prisons, but it is equally about what we are investing in. What would our communities look like if we invested in people, healing, and connection instead of punishment and state-sanctioned revenge?
I believe that abolition is not just a practice that we invest in with our political campaigns but with our daily actions and values. It’s a spiritual practice that evolves as we evolve. It’s a creative practice that involves engaging with the world in ways that we likely have never been taught how to do.
I am thinking about #KeenanAnderson , the cousin of Patrisse (who wrote this book) who was murdered by LAPD just weeks ago. The current system is egregious and it consumes untold resources. Let us build something different.
