A vital anthology exploring the intersections between caregiving and abolition Abolition has never been a proposal to simply tear things down. As Alexis Pauline Gumbs asks, “What if abolition is something that grows?” As we struggle to build a liberatory, caring, loving, abundant future, we have much to learn from the work of birthing, raising, caring for, and loving future generations. In We Grow the World Together, abolitionists and organizers Maya Schenwar and Kim Wilson bring together a remarkable collection of voices revealing the complex tapestry of ways people are living abolition in their daily lives through parenting and caregiving. Ranging from personal narratives to policy-focused analysis to activist chronicles, these writers highlight how abolition is essential to any kind of parenting justice. Contributors include: Beth Richie Harsha Walia EJ, 6 years old Dorothy Roberts Ruth Wilson Gilmore Dylan Rodríguez Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn Shira Hassan Victoria Law Mariame Kaba The PDX Childcare Collective adrienne maree brown and Autumn Brown and more
