Absolutely recommend. A little bit of a slow start but it is short enough to read in a day and very motivational.

Review of 'Becoming Abolitionists' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
An incredible read. Purnell provides a great ratio of stories to statistics, and every piece of information makes a compelling case for abolition. This was not an issue I had any prior education on, but the author connected abolition to many topics I did have experience with, such as environmentalism and LGBT rights. It was especially enlightening for me, someone who has had very few interactions with the police, as to how awful having to deal with them can be.

Made me cry more than the Orange manga.
I don’t really know what else to say. It’s a great book and really pushes you into action.
Review of 'Seeing Gender: An Illustrated Guide to Identity and Expression' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
It’s just okay. For anyone who knows some amount about gender, race, feminism, etc., it is unlikely the book will contain much of note to you. If, however, you have had little education in such areas, perhaps this would be a simple and easily digestible way to remedy that.
