A People's Guide to Abolition and Disability Justice

Paperback, 256 Pages: A People’s Guide to Abolition and Disability Justice explores the deep connections between disability justice and prison abolition—two vital frameworks often treated separately—offering clear explanations for newcomers and fresh insights for seasoned activists. Drawing on research, personal experience, and historical context, the book reveals how the State uses disability and systemic ableism to incarcerate multiply marginalized disabled people, especially those who are queer, trans, Black, or Indigenous. It highlights why disabled people are disproportionately entangled in carceral systems and argues that abolition must be rooted in disability justice. With real-life examples, practical strategies, and actionable tools, this guide shows why these struggles are inseparable and how integrating them strengthens our movements for liberation. PM Press.
