Today the Moon in Leo makes a square to Uranus in Taurus. This aspect describes a challenge of revolutionary visibility, becoming more visible in ways that divest from systemic norms and create opportunities for liberation. But visibility—especially for marginalized communities, for people who are already visibly different—is never simply only liberatory. Juliana Huxtable offers, “I think there is an actual moment of dynamic and, in many ways, powerful visibility, and perhaps there are reasons why it’s happening that we can point to … I think that the policing and the violence against trans people have a direct relationship to that increase in visibility. The people who gain visibility—those whom the media deem to be relatively ‘passable’ in one sense or another—end up being used as examples to police trans people generally.” As trans folks—especially trans women of color—understand intimately, becoming more visible can be a powerful challenge to existing social norms that would deny the existence of trans people, but that same visibility can also make you a target for policing, harassment, and violence. Or, alternatively, if you are visible in ways that receives acceptance or social sanction, that visibility can then be used as a standard with which to police others. But Huxtable states, “it’s actually really radical to insist on an idea of beauty.” How might you show up in radical ways that insist on forms of beauty that disrupt policing and resist normalization, that generate more potential for freedom and livability? How can you provide spaces of appearance and acceptance for others whose lives insist on such radical possibilities for beauty and visibility?

Today Neptune stations retrograde in Pisces—joining Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in their apparent retracings of their pathways across the sky. There is such a strong personal and collective pull back toward where we have come from. It is important to use this time to review, finding what resources the past has to offer, while not getting seduced into the comfort of established familiarities. The Moon in Cancer makes a trine to Mars in Pisces, stimulating emotional courage before the Moon ingresses into Leo and directly into an opposition with Saturn in Aquarius. Saturn can activate our fears, particularly around showing up and being seen, but the Moon is waxing in light in the sign of the Sun. Leo is the hearth of authenticity, our abiding whole-heartedness. Audre Lorde writes in “Eye to Eye,” “To search for power within myself means I must be willing to move through being afraid to whatever lies beyond. If I look at my most vulnerable places and acknowledge the pain I have felt, I can remove the source of that pain from my enemies’ arsenals … Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.” What have you not yet accepted about yourself, and how has this self-rejection or self-abandonment diminished who you have become? How might you begin to move through being afraid toward whatever lies beyond? As the Moon forms a sextile with Venus retrograde in Gemini, we may find ourselves moved to share our most vulnerable places with those we love, those who have made themselves trustworthy, as part of our journey into acceptance.
Today the Moon makes a conjunction to Mercury retrograde in Cancer. While Mercury’s retrograde may describe difficulties or delays in communication, reception from its ruler the Moon—concentrated in this conjunction—offers resources for settling into a more sensitive felt experience of our bodies and emotional lives. This sensitivity may become more expansive as the Moon makes a trine with Neptune. The more we allow ourselves to feel, the more our sense of self can expand to hold the breadths and depths of what we are feeling. As the Moon then moves through oppositions to Pluto and Jupiter—both retrograde in Capricorn—we may discover that buried within our own bodies are the seeds of both our own oppression as well as our personal and collective experiences of liberation. Audre Lorde writes in “Age, Race, Class, and Sex,” “…the true focus of revolutionary change is never merely the oppressive situations which we seek to escape, but that piece of the oppressor which is planted deep within each of us, and which knows only the oppressors’ tactics, the oppressors’ relationships.” Inasmuch as we are called to look outside of ourselves to critique and dismantle systems of oppression that surround us, we must also be willing to look deeply within ourselves for the pieces of the oppressor that shape our thoughts, actions, and relationships—our internalized racism and sexism and ableism, our deep fears and loathing regarding sexuality and gender, our attachments to colonial tactics and oppressive class systems. As we confront and work to heal these inner oppressors, we find that the sources of our own freedom are held within our bodies as well.
Early this morning before dawn, the Moon ingressed into its domicile of Cancer and directly into a conjunction with the Sun, perfecting a major solar eclipse. This eclipse holds the potential to challenge or disrupt our sense of safety and security, as well as the institutions in which we place our trust for providing safety and care. It may actually require us to question our beliefs about security, safety, and care, facing the shadow of our attachments to what we may have thought protected us—especially right now in the U.S. in regard to policing, all the ways in which the police are an instrument of violence and oppression specifically to Black and Brown people, but also to trans people, poor people, mentally disabled people, and so on. We may be propelled toward change and new—or old—possibilities, especially as the Moon forms a sextile with Uranus in Taurus. It may be that we are facing worlds coming to an end, ways of being in the world that create more harm than care. What will we do now? Alexis Pauline Gumbs writes in M Archive: After the End of the World, “they dug in their memories for the one day. for some of them it was a couple of days per month. rock-bottom days. the days in their lives when the world had already ended. they thought back. and asked: what did we each do then? … when we knew there would be no tomorrow. what did we each do then? how did we keep breathing past it (because we are the ones that did). they dug for those memories and stacked them in a row. that’s how. that’s how we learned to get through this.” If you search your own memories for how you survived when it felt like there would be no tomorrow, what did you do then? Here you are. You survived. What if you already hold the traces and tools for how to survive now as we demand the dissolution of institutions that never kept us safe in the first place?
Today is the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year as the Sun ingresses into Cancer this evening. It is a time for celebrating and affirming that which is life-giving, both the intensity and brilliance of the Sun itself as well as the ways in which we all carry our own capacities to shine brightly and offer that which nurtures life in the world. Mars in Pisces makes a sextile to Jupiter in Capricorn. Even fallen and retrograde in Capricorn, Jupiter offers the affirmation of possibility and potential. Mars reminds us that sometimes we must struggle and fight for that which we are told is impossible in order to bring it into being. The Moon in Gemini makes squares to Neptune and then Mars in Pisces. In the struggle to bring the impossible into being, our dreams can provide the necessary currents to propel us into action. Audre Lorde writes in “Eye to Eye,” “Acknowledged, our dreams can shape the realities of our future, if we arm them with the hard work and scrutiny of now.” As we move into this new season, we may ask: what are the seemingly impossible worlds of which we are dreaming? How might we acknowledge and arm such dreams with hard work and scrutiny in order to imbue them with the force necessary to shape the realities of our futures? We may not yet know what a world of justice could be; when we try to envision it, we may be told by existing systems, “That is not possible.” How can we begin to act and embody the seeming impossibilities for which we dream?
Today the Moon makes a conjunction to Venus retrograde in Gemini. Today is also Juneteenth, commemorating the end of slavery and the freedom of enslaved people in the United States. It is not merely a celebration of the work of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reaching Texas and freeing those who were still enslaved over two years after the executive order; it is also a celebration of hundreds of years of struggle for freedom, the efforts of enslaved African and African American people working across generations to be free. It is a celebration of survival, including the ongoing survival of Black and Brown people in a world that is still shaped by the afterlife of slavery. What does it take to survive? Audre Lorde writes of raising Black children in “the mouth of a racist, sexist, suicidal dragon”: “If they cannot love and resist at the same time, they will probably not survive. And in order to survive they must let go … For each of these, the ability to feel strongly and to recognize those feelings is central: how to feel love, how to neither discount fear not be overwhelmed by it, how to enjoy feeling deeply.” As we both celebrate and struggle for freedom today, as we connect to Venus’ retrograde cycle, may we all learn to love and resist at the same time. And for those of us who are white, may we continue to do the work of loving and supporting the love of Black and Brown people, creating conditions in which those who have survived hundreds of years of oppression might feel more deeply, might feel love, without being overwhelmed by fear.
Today Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer, initiating several weeks of reflection and review in the areas of our charts occupied by Cancer. This could be a time of revisiting our own vulnerable and tender places, allowing ourselves to feel more deeply than we have before, and finding ways to articulate what we have not yet been able to say. The Moon in Taurus makes a sextile to Mars in Pisces then trines to Pluto and Jupiter, both retrograde in Capricorn. When we begin from stable and grounded places, we are more capable of taking action, accessing our own power, and investing in tangible, long-term growth. The Moon then ingresses into Gemini, exchanging signs with Mercury, and moves directly into a trine with Saturn retrograde in Aquarius. Gemini can stimulate our curiosities and direct our interests in many directions. Saturn reminds us that there are rewards for committing to disciplined and focused pursuit of what we are trying to learn. Finally, Mars in Pisces makes a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. As Pluto moves retrograde in Capricorn—a sign associated with allegiance to the past—we may find ourselves moved to action, responding to the ways that power has been consolidated throughout history. But remember, as Audre Lorde writes in Sister Outsider, “…we cannot fight old power in old power terms only. The only way we can do it is by creating a whole structure that touches every aspect of our existence, at the same time as we are resisting.” As Angela Davis and many others have taught us over and over again, abolition not only requires opposing, resisting, and dismantling existing institutions—like prisons, like the police; it also involves imagining and building new ways of organizing power and acting together. This dismantling and reconstruction is not separate from the internal re-visitation that we are beginning as Mercury turns into its retrograde journey.
Today the Moon in Taurus makes sextiles to Mercury in Cancer then Neptune in Pisces. We may find ourselves moving between knowledge and understanding, our capacities to describe and articulate as well as our capacities to feel. In an interview in Sister Outsider between Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich, Rich describes her desire for Lorde to provide more clear articulations of her intuitions. Rich: “I was trying to say to you, don’t let’s let this evolve into ‘You don’t understand me’ or ‘I can’t understand you’ or ‘Yes, of course we understand each other because we love each other.’ That’s bullshit. So if I ask for documentation, it’s because I take seriously the space between us that difference has created, that racism has created …” Lorde: “But I’m used to associating a request for documentation as a questioning of my perceptions, an attempt to devalue what I’m in the process of discovering … documentation does not help one perceive. At best it only analyzes the perception. At worst, it provides a screen by which to avoid concentrating on the core revelation, following it down to how it feels.” Today we may feel inclined toward a desire to know, to clarify, to analyze, to understand. But are we prepared to accept and trust our unfolding perceptions and the depths of feeling within our own bodies as well as others’ as valid and valuable sources of understanding? It may be that our distrust of feelings or our dissatisfactions with what cannot be easily articulated are symptoms of systems that we are actively working to abolish.
Today the Moon ingresses into Taurus, the sign of its exaltation, reminding us to slow down, ground into our bodies, and cultivate deeply nourishing care practices that can support us in the days ahead. As the Moon receives a square from Saturn retrograde in Aquarius, we may hit a wall, physically or emotionally. If we don’t slow down and care for our systems, our systems may demand that we stop—whether or not we want to do so. adrienne maree brown writes in Pleasure Activism, “There’s this concept of suffering central to so many of us as whatever, activists, organizers, anyone trying to change the world … so much of how we get pulled into community and kept in community is a solidarity built around our sufferings … which is not liberatory … what does it take to actually shift the feel of organizing? The way we feel our existence? We’re not meant to suffer alone. We’re meant to experience pleasure and togetherness.” In moments of slowing down and pause, can we reorient our efforts for justice and liberation, aligning with our own embodied sense of longing and pleasure, rather than building new worlds around the suffering and burn out that we inherit from systems of oppression? What if, as brown writes, we can “begin to imagine a society coordinated around honest, clearly articulated longings … all of us organizing ourselves around what we long for rather than what we are against”? Finally, in the last hour of the day, the Moon makes a conjunction to Uranus in Taurus. This can describe a powerful, jolting activation of our bodies and emotional life. The shock and disruptions will continue to come; what kinds of capacities and containers are you cultivating to hold and ground the upheavals when they come?
Today the Moon in Aries makes squares to Pluto and Jupiter—both retrograde in Capricorn—and a sextile to the Sun in Gemini. Aries inspires action, but with the Moon squaring Pluto and Jupiter, this action may require us to challenge the ways in which powerful institutions have repressed our own agency and aspirations. Audre Lorde writes in “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action”: “In becoming forcibly and essentially aware of my mortality, and of what I wished and wanted for my life, however short it might be, priorities and omissions became strongly etched in a merciless light, and what I regretted were my silences. Of what had I ever been afraid? … most of all, I think, we fear the visibility without which we cannot truly live.” Lorde instructs us, “…for us all, it is necessary to teach by living and speaking those truths which we believe and know beyond understanding. Because in this way alone we can survive, by taking part in a process of life that is creative and continuing, that is growth.” Pluto can describe the crushing forces of repression and fear, the consciousness of death and decay, but also the difficult processes of transforming that which is hidden into necessary change. The Sun extends visibility, inviting showing up more fully and relentlessly, without which, Lorde writes, we cannot truly live. Jupiter describes not only teaching those truths in which we most believe, but also the capacity for life to continue and grow. The question today is: how can you show up in more visible accountability for that which you believe to be true? What fear must be overcome in order for you to contribute to a process of life and livability—especially for those who are most marginalized—that is both creative and ongoing?
Today the Moon in Aries makes a sextile to Venus retrograde in Gemini. Aries pushes us to start something fresh and new, while Venus is guiding us through a deep study of our practices of love and connection. adrienne maree brown writes in Pleasure Activism, “We don’t learn to love in a linear path, from self to family to friends to spouse, as we might have been taught. We learn to love by loving. We practice with each other, on ourselves, in all kinds of relationships. And right now we need to be in rigorous practice, because we can no longer afford to love people the way we’ve been loving them.” What if most of what we believe to be true of love are myths that we have learned from a colonialist, imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist, hetero-patriarchy? What will it take for you to do the work of this critical unlearning in order to generate new practices of love? The Moon in Aries makes a sextile to Mercury in Cancer, sparking the need for honest emotional communication and connection. brown also writes, “We begin learning to lie in intimate relationships at a very early age … We have to engage in an intentional practice of honesty to counter this socialization. We need radical honesty—leaning to speak from our root systems about how we feel and what we want. Speak our needs and listen to others’ needs.” In our journeys toward more liberated and liberatory practices of love, perhaps today we can begin by exercising this honesty: what am I actually feeling, and how do I communicate those feelings with care for myself and others?
Today the Moon in Pisces makes a square to the Sun in Gemini, entering the waning quarter phase. This is a time of diminishing light, letting go of what is no longer necessary, and shedding perspectives that are no longer in the interests of life. The Moon makes sextiles to Pluto and Jupiter, both retrograde in Capricorn. As we allow what has been to pass away, it becomes the compost in which new possibilities may take root and grow. Mars perfects its conjunction to Neptune in Pisces, and we find motivation and drive for action and change in the deep waters of our dreams. Audre Lorde writes in Sister Outsider, “The white fathers told us: I think, therefore I am. The Black mother within each of us—the poet—whispers in our dreams: I feel, therefore I can be free … we must constantly encourage ourselves and each other to attempt the heretical actions that our dreams imply, and so many of our old ideas disparage.” Listen to the voice that whispers in your dreams that you can be free. Remember that freedom is a constant struggle (Angela Davis) and nobody’s free until everybody’s free (Fannie Lou Hamer), then attempt the heretical actions that your dreams inspire. The Moon ingresses into Aries and directly into a sextile with Saturn retrograde in Aquarius. As we stoke the fires of action and activation, remember to do so with deliberate devotion to the long and steady work of building worlds to come. Take action today, and know that the effects of such actions belong to the immense labor that has come before and all the labor that will come after.
Today the Moon in Pisces makes a trine to Mercury in Cancer, a day for speaking and receiving depths of feelings that stir our capacities for empathy, compassion, connection, and care. Then the Moon makes conjunctions to Mars and Neptune in Pisces—perhaps an embodied premonition of Mars’ conjunction with Neptune tomorrow. We are in a moment of struggling for a dream, fighting for a vision, fighting for what we have not yet dreamt, struggling for who and what we have not yet imagined. Alexis Pauline Gumbs writes in M Archive: After the End of the World: “and that was how we got the ocean. she thought of all the things this world could have been and wasn’t and she wept and wept. all the animals and plants that never were, the people the people couldn’t dream of being, the thoughts that would never ever occur to any of us so uselessly busy proving our lives away. she could see all of it. she could feel all of it. actually she couldn’t see anything because she just kept crying, a heaving gasping cry … she cried and it became the ocean. and out of the ocean came life as we know it.” Witness the cry, the outcry, the crying that has become oceans of bodies flooding the streets around the world. Can you feel the deep grief within your own body for the ways that systemic oppression and violence against Black and Brown people have not only colonized our world but also our capacity to dream? What if every tear could hold the promise of new worlds being brought into being, life as we do not yet know it, for which we are willing to struggle and fight? Imagine the ocean of possibilities—for justice, for liberation—with which we could flood this world.
Today the Sun in Gemini receives a square from Neptune in Pisces. This aspect holds immense potential for inspiration and insight that exceeds our current understanding. We may feel challenged by an experience of ourselves that is more expansive and more encompassing than our limited, ego-identified self. What might you have to surrender if you were to see yourself as an immense and loving presence, witnessing your life and your feelings—as well as the world of which you are a part—with deep and abiding compassion? The Moon then ingresses into Pisces, with reception from Jupiter fallen in Capricorn. The Moon makes a square to Venus retrograde in Gemini, then a sextile to Uranus in Taurus. In our process of questioning and perhaps even relearning what we understand love to be, we may be called into this more expansive sense of self within practices of love. bell hooks writes in All About Love, “A commitment to spiritual life necessarily means we embrace the eternal principle that love is all, everything, our true destiny … loving practice is not aimed at simply giving an individual greater life satisfaction; it is extolled as the primary way we end domination and oppression.” What if love—being in love, becoming loving—is not about increasing our individual satisfaction, but rather is a revolutionary act of practicing care for others from which we are not separate? Such loving practices, hooks writes, are the primary way we end domination and oppression.
The skies are relatively quiet today. The Moon in Aquarius makes a trine to the Sun in Gemini. Both in air signs, this aspect stimulates critical thinking and the exchange of ideas, offering multiple perspectives in order to develop a fuller view of the worlds we inhabit together. This is also the disseminating phase of the lunation cycle, in which we feel the impulse to share the lessons we have learned and the wisdom we have encountered. Collectively, we are on a steep learning curve as many more people begin to educate ourselves on systemic racism and injustice, alternatives to police and prisons, and the brilliance of Black and Brown people that has long gone unacknowledged and under-appreciated. As we learn together, this will require educating ourselves and one another, speaking up and listening well, and most of all, engaging in meaningful dialogue through which we can generate new knowledge. bell hooks writes in Teaching to Transgress, “To engage in dialogue is one of the simplest ways we can begin as teachers, scholars, and critical thinkers to cross boundaries, the barriers that may or may not be erected by race, gender, class, professional standing, and a host of other differences … Understanding and appreciating our different locations has been a necessary framework for the building of professional and political solidarity between us, as well as for creating a space of emotional trust where intimacy and regard for one another can be nourished.” Today we might ask: what are the resources I can share? What are the resources I need to receive? What perspectives other than my own might I center? And what dialogues—new and ongoing—can be cultivated in order to think across barriers to collective justice?
Today the Moon in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune in Pisces. We may find new opportunities for embodying the worlds of which we are dreaming, worlds in which more justice and liberation are possible. But it may take work to even dream, as well as embody such visions for the future. As adrienne maree brown writes in Emergent Strategy, “Change is coming—what do we need to imagine as we prepare for it? … How do we cultivate the muscle of radical imagination needed to dream together beyond fear?” As the Moon makes conjunctions to Pluto and Jupiter—both currently retrograde in Capricorn—we initiate new cycles of opposing authoritarian powers of domination and committing to long-term, sustainable growth. Then the Moon ingresses into Aquarius, directly into a conjunction with Saturn. Moving retrograde, Saturn is just weeks away from returning to Capricorn. We may already feel the pull to return to old ways of doing things, established systems and structures that we believed kept us safe. But do not forget: those systems and structures not only have not protected us, they were also built upon and sustained by the ongoing oppression and exploitation of Black and Brown people. The Moon’s conjunction to Saturn is a reminder: even as we feel the pull back toward these old, established systems, we must remain committed to finding our ways into the futures of our radical imaginations.
Today the Moon in Capricorn makes a trine to Uranus in Taurus, inviting us to embody our revolutionary potential within the context of the most established structures of our society. How do we insist on being and becoming bodies differently when we are living within sedimented systems that have long determined what a body is and what it means—especially when the significance of bodies is structured by violence against some bodies more than others. Sara Ahmed writes in Living a Feminist Life, “Some bodies are in an instant judged as suspicious, or as dangerous, as objects to be feared, a judgement that is lethal. There can be nothing more dangerous to a body than the social agreement that that body is dangerous. We can simplify: it is dangerous to be perceived as dangerous.” Revolutionary embodiment for Black and Brown people might involve insisting: my body is not dangerous. For white people, this might involve asking: is my body dangerous? Does my whiteness create conditions of violence for people who are not white? The Moon then opposes Mercury in Cancer, which may confront us with opportunities to name and articulate our experiences of radical embodiment. How can you describe what it would mean to be a body—your body—differently in a world of more justice and liberation? Finally, the Moon makes a sextile to Mars in Pisces, emboldening us to take courageous, decisive action, to be motivated and animated by our radical realizations and words.
Today the Sun in Gemini receives a square from Mars in Pisces. Mars is in the superior position, making this a condition of maltreatment, an assault on life and livability, on our insistence to show up and be seen as we illuminate the world around us. We may feel our very survival is under attack, or we may finally be coming into consciousness regarding the ways in which the lives, livability, and survival of Black and Brown people have always been under attack in this country. Today is a day to struggle on behalf of survival. Alexis Pauline Gumbs writes in “The Shape of My Impact”: “Survival has never meant, bare minimum, mere straggling breath, the small space next to the line of death. Survival references our living in the context of what we have overcome. Survival is life after disaster, life in honor of our ancestors, despite the genocidal forces worked against them specifically so we would not exist … My survival, my life resplendent, with the energy of my ancestors, is enough.” What actions can you take today to ensure life after disaster, in honor of all those revolutionary ancestors who make our lives possible today? The Moon then ingresses into Capricorn, the sign of its antithesis or detriment, without reception from Saturn. We may feel depleted, exhausted, or alienated from the resources we need in order to be well. Remember, rest is part of the revolution. Recovery is necessary to sustain the long-term labor of change. You may need to slow down and rest in order to get back into the struggles ahead.
Today Mercury in Gemini makes a sextile to Uranus in Taurus. It is a time for articulating revolution into countless forms, for speaking radical change into being, and also for listening deeply to the words that are being spoken—especially by Black and Brown people—that have the potential to unsettle us, to shake us, to disrupt what we thought we knew. The Moon in Sagittarius makes an opposition to Venus retrograde in Gemini before coming into opposition with the Sun, perfecting its penumbral Lunar Eclipse. The opposition to Venus ties this lunation into the process or reflection and review that the Venus retrograde has been describing. The eclipse occurs in a T-square with Mars in Pisces. This has the potential to describe an intense severing or separating, conflict, or struggle, particularly in ways that may feel unsupported. Where do you need to separate and step away, bring things to an ending, because what you are coming to realize as truth is not being supported there? Sagittarius can describe a burning need for freedom and movement and change, which may require cutting something off or separating from what has kept you limited in your motion or mobility. This reminds me of Fannie Lou Hamer saying, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” Use this time to consider how those around us—Black and Brown people, trans folks, queer folks, women and femmes, disabled folks, poor folks, undocumented people, incarcerated people, etc.—are not yet free. Face the ways in which you and I are contributing to that lack of freedom. As the Moon moves into a square with Neptune in Pisces, we will be challenged to dream new ways of creating freedom for more people.
You can hear more about the upcoming eclipses in June and July on this episode of the home|body podcast on which I appeared in June. Today the Moon in Scorpio makes sextiles to Pluto and Jupiter, both retrograde in Capricorn, before ingressing into Sagittarius. Then the Moon makes a sextile to Saturn retrograde in Aquarius. These are all helpful aspects with potentially challenging or challenged planets. The Moon is fallen in Scorpio, a depression that has the potential to intensify or transform as it connects with Pluto. The sextile with Jupiter is like a supportive gesture from a friend who is also going through a difficult time. The Moon’s entrance into Sagittarius lightens the mood, but without reception from Jupiter. The sextile with Saturn encourages us to imagine new possibilities for what we mean by safety and security, and how we might cultivate more open responsibility for developing new approaches to organizing our communities and keeping people safe. In an essay entitled “Building Community Safety: Practical Steps Toward Liberatory Transformation,” Ejeris Dixon writes, “The crucial questions are: What can you help build? What conversations can you start to increase the safety of your community? What new structures or collaborations will you create to decrease your reliance on the criminal legal system? … No matter how small they are, our experiments should aspire to center the experiences of the most marginalized folks within our communities.” The creation of a world without police or prisons will require large-scale change, but it will also require small experiments in our local communities and intimate relationships in order to build new systems of safety. How can you begin or continue this work today? Consider reading Beyond Survival: Strategies and Stories from the Transformative Justice Movement, edited by Ejeris Dixon and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha.
