In "We Do This 'Til We Free Us," Mariame Kaba invites readers into a profound exploration of abolition and social transformation through a collection of essays and interviews that spark with radical imagination. Kaba, with her seasoned voice in activism, dismantles the conventional narratives surrounding justice, accountability, and societal change, advocating instead for a collective journey towards liberation that eschews the punitive systems deeply entrenched in society. Her work is not just a critique but a beacon of hope, proposing that the power to effect monumental change lies within our communal efforts rather than the elusive savior on the horizon. Navigating through the complexities of organizing for change, Kaba's writing is both a manifesto and a roadmap, emphasizing the importance of building power from the ground up. She challenges readers to envision a future unshackled by the confines of current systems of punishment and control, urging a reimagining of justice as something obtainable not through isolation and retribution, but through empathy, understanding, and the relentless pursuit of equity. "We Do This 'Til We Free Us" is a clarion call to action, resonating with urgency and the unshakeable belief that, together, we possess the collective strength to forge a world rooted in true freedom and transformative justice.

Great book. - Marc Lamont Hill
When you say, “What would we do without prisons?” what you are really saying is: “What would we do without civil death, exploitation, and state-sanctioned violence?
