‘When Cradle write, they are speaking to you and me about our responsibilities to one another and to building a world that is life-affirming.’
— Lola Olufemi, author of Experiments in Imagining Otherwise
Join Hajar Press and Cradle Community at Halkevi Community Centre to celebrate the publication of Brick by Brick: How We Build a World Without Prisons, a vital resource for those who dream of building a just, caring, prison-free society.
Drawing connections across social justice movements with a shared abolitionist ethic, this revolutionary book illuminates how harmful ideas of criminality and punishment can manifest in many ways beyond the prison industrial complex. This work is a collaboration with friends, mentors and giants fighting for housing justice, food justice, climate justice, migrant justice, justice for survivors of violence, and more.
With this insightful and generous book, Cradle Community invites us to explore what it will take to dismantle structures of oppression, and to imagine the future we can rebuild together—brick by brick.
‘An unflinching account of everyday injustices … an unmissable call to care, to imagine and to build the world we need.’
— Joshua Virasami, author of How to Change It
Cradle Community is a collective of organisers committed to radical education and building understanding of prison abolition and transformative justice. Brick by Brick is their first book.
