An introductory guide to abolitionist politics in Britain, Abolition Revolution explores how the history of imperialism, racism and class struggle has led to the carceral systems that we see today and how abolition should be seen as a key component of revolutionary politics, linking it with materialist feminisms, anti-capitalist class struggle, internationalist solidarity and anti-colonialism.
Shanice Octavia McBean is an activist and writes on race, class and feminism. She is the co-author of Abolition Revolution, and a co-founder of the UK based radical collective Black-Jewish Alliance.
Aviah Sarah Day can be found teaching and researching at Birkbeck, University of London when working, and organising in her East London community the rest of the time. She is involved in Sisters Uncut, a national direct-action collective fighting domestic and state violence as well as Hackney Cop Watch and Black Jewish Alliance. She is co-author of the book Abolition Revolution by Pluto Press.
The talk will be chaired by Zara Manoehoetoe, a youth worker and community organiser from Manchester.
