Imagine Healthcare as Abolitionist Practice
Further Resources
Developing an abolitionist framework requires ongoing learning and praxis. In healthcare, unlearning is a fundamental part of recognizing the potential for new modes of healthcare practice. Opening up space for radical alternatives allows us to begin the process of imagining a future without police, where communities receive the care they need, and members can flourish. We've listed below some of our favourite resources to help others start this journey.
