My new book is out today :) With Coercion I wanted to dedicate a book to unpacking at the most granular level how abortion bans aren't just some abstract political debate but state gender-based violence w/ material consequences that can't be ignored. more about the project below:

Introducing a new 6-part series revisiting the landmark insights of Ruth Wilson Gilmore's 'Golden Gulag', exploring what prison abolitionists can learn from the history of carceral expansion. With RWG, Craig Gilmore Lydia Pelot-Hobbs & Judah Schept inquest.org/abolitionist-l…
