BOOK TALK: Becoming Abolitionists with Derecka Purnell & Nyle Fort

Join The People’s Forum for an in-person book talk with Derecka Purnell on her newest book, Becoming Abolitionists. Drawing from her experiences as a lawyer, writer, and organizer initially skeptical about police abolition, Purnell charts her journey to her realization that the police were a placebo. She will be joined in conversation by Dr. Nyle Fort, organizer and postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University.
