For me, 2020 made me think harder about the abolitionist movement and what it means to fight for abolition.
I’ve always been anti-police (well at least a few decades) and I needed to better understand how we create a world in which we abolish them, prisons, the military, and these systems that uphold them.
It was also a time to better reflect on how these very systems benefit me as a cis white male, and what I must be willing to give up or what I must do in order to achieve these goals.
