How to Abolish Prisons - Lessons...

Rachel Herzing, Justin Piché,...

Critics of abolition sometimes castigate the movement for its utopianism, but in How to Abolish Prisons, long-time organizers Rachel Herzing and Justin Piché reveal a movement that has made the struggle for abolition as real as the institutions they are fighting against. 
 
 
 
Drawing on extensive interviews with abolitionist crews all over North America, Herzing and Piché provide a collective reconstruction of what the grassroots movement to abolish prisons actually is, what initiatives it has launched, how it organizes itself, and how its protagonists build the day-to-day practice of politics. Listeners sit in on the Winnipeg rideshares of Bar None and the meetings of the Chicago Community Bail Fund as they assess the utility of politicized mutual aid. They follow the campaigns and coalitions of Critical Resistance in Oakland and San Francisco and Survived and Punished in New York City, and learn about the prisoner correspondence projects that keep activists behind bars and outside them in constant coordination. 
 
 
 
Abolitionist campaigns are constructing on-the-ground initiatives across North America to deconstruct carceral society and build resistant communities. Through the words, deeds, and personalities of this beautifully peopled movement, How to Abolish Prisons emerges as a stunning snapshot of a movement's thinking in motion.

The Cycle of Collapse - Why...

Vansh Kunal Shah

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU’VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT PROGRESS IS A LIE? 
From trillion-dollar illusions to ecological collapse, from Silicon Valley’s false messiahs to the crumbling of truth itself — The Cycle of Collapse doesn’t offer comfort. It offers clarity. This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s the anatomy of a system devouring itself. 
With the precision of a fact-checker and the fire of lived experience, Vansh Kunal Shah takes us across empires and ideologies — unmasking how every collapse follows a script: unchecked greed, media manipulation, denial, and silence. We are not living through a unique crisis. We are repeating the oldest one. 
This is a book for the disillusioned, the betrayed, and the quietly furious. For a generation raised on promises of freedom and prosperity — only to wake up in debt, distraction, and disaster. 
This is for everyone who looked around and asked: 
WHY DIDN’T ANYONE STOP IT? 
The answer? 
WE NEVER LEARN. BUT NOW… WE MUST.

Locked Down Locked Out - Why...

Maya Schenwar

An analysis of the US prison system through real-life stories, and a look at the complex work of community-based social justice projects. 
 
 
 
Through the stories of prisoners and their families, including her own family's experiences, Maya Schenwar shows how the institution that locks up 2.3 million Americans and decimates poor communities of color is shredding the ties that, if nurtured, could foster real collective safety. As she vividly depicts here, incarceration takes away the very things that might enable people to build better lives. But looking toward a future beyond imprisonment, Schenwar profiles community-based initiatives that successfully deal with problems—both individual harm and larger social wrongs—through connection rather than isolation, moving toward a safer, freer future for all of us. 
 
 
 
"Maya Schenwar's stories about prisoners, their families (including her own), and the thoroughly broken punishment system are rescued from any pessimism such narratives might inspire by the author's brilliant juxtaposition of abolitionist imaginaries and radical political practices." —Angela Y. Davis, author of Are Prisons Obsolete?
