AN ABOLITIONIST’S HANDBOOK by Patrisse Cullors - Essence 'First Look At Patrisse Cullors' New Book "An Abolitionist's Handbook"'

Essence | February 25, 2021

Patrisse Cullors has been a force in the social justice and activism space as one of the three founders of the Black Lives Matter movement alongside Opal Tometi and Alicia Garza.

As an artist, author, and freedom fighting organizer, Cullors has been no stranger to vocalizing her opinions through any medium necessary, and she unapologetically uses her social platforms to speak out about artistic and cultural work within the Black community. As we approach the one-year anniversaries of the unjust killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, the self-proclaimed abolitionist has announced the release of a new book for the everyday activist looking to play their role in the fight for justice and equality.

Set for release on October 5, 2021, “An Abolitionist’s Handbook: 12 Steps to Change Yourself and the World” is available for pre-order now and will be published via St. Martins Press. The handbook will serve as a framework for the activists and abolitionists of today’s generation who want to learn about and implement the necessary skills to effect change among Black people and other poor, marginalized and disenfranchised communities during these unprecedented times. If you’re looking for a how-to guide on becoming a modern-day abolitionist through “love, fierce compassion and precision,” you should add this to your cart.
