Du Bois Movement School for Abolition \u0026amp; Reconstruction. It brings together two dozen urgent and timely interventions in political debates around abolition and aims to show how this abstract idea manifests itself in our daily lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese interventions, authored by a diverse cast of contributors, including academics and attorneys, so-called felons and physicians, artists and educators, and parents, playwrights and poets, explore the everyday experiences that come with trying to live out an abolitionist politics. In the words of the editors, these experiences include “the daily victories and errands, reflections and runarounds, gestures and drama, habits and heartbreaks, setbacks and surrenders, excuses and evasions, breakdowns and breakthroughs.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe issue curates a variety of content, including political essays, short stories, poetry, interviews, and speeches, each resonating and reflecting in their own unique way on the central theme “Everyday Sh!t.” They offer thoughts and reflections on structure, practice, care, and direction to deepen existing movement knowledge and invite new audiences to see themselves mirrored within this work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout exception, these are stories of sincere experience mixed with radical poetic visions culled from the issue contributors’ plurality of pasts, presents, and prefigurative futures. Grounded in Philadelphia, yet looking out onto the whole wide world, Abolition Journal aims to reflect the lived complexity that can be messy and self-defeating, but equally authentic and inspiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaunched in 2024, the Abolition Journal Working Group convened in Philadelphia through relationships formed within the W.E.B. Du Bois Movement School for Abolition \u0026amp; Reconstruction (Abolition School). Members embraced the opportunity to pivot Abolition Journal from its former stewardship under the Abolition Collective toward a renewed publishing praxis that reinforces the approach of Abolition School. \u003cem\u003eEveryday Sh!t: Notes on Abolition and Reconstruction\u003c\/em\u003e marks the conclusion of our pilot, and the working group is now strategizing the continuation of the movement journal.
