Although this book does read more as an academic report than a nonfiction book at times, “Abolition. Feminism. Now.” is an important documentation of the interconnectedness of abolition and feminism and an urgent call to action. Davis, Dent, Meiners, and Richie write that “this book is an invitation to readers to write and organize: to create other ‘Abolition. Feminism. Now.’ texts, films, zines, collectives, study groups, parties, and more [because] freedom is a constant struggle. [This book] has worked to push forward these linkages between abolition and feminism— and all of our work reminds us, daily, of the vibrancy of this landscape, the stakes of this work, and the imperatives to learn from eachother. Now.”
The call to action in this book is written with more urgency than many other abolitionist texts I have read. The authors emphasize the importance of community and organizing. I found myself doing quite a bit of self reflection while reading this book and am going to become involved with an abolitionist bookstore in my neighborhood. “Revolution is not a one time event, as Audre Lorde reminds, and these networks are making the world we need. Now.”

A very compelling call to action and an enjoyable read. As a cis white American woman, I found this book provided me with a much-needed perspective on feminism.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53657256-abolition-feminism-now?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=JBI1Cq8AS3&rank=1#

Such an important read! The focus on what we can do now is especially crucial. It took me a bit to get through the book, which is my biggest critique in terms of flow.
