“The idea of non-reformist reform is something that's hard for some to get on board with. Especially if you don't have a history in abolitionist work. To make it simple, non-reformist reform is the idea that we're not fighting to improve an existing, failed system. We are fighting for what we actually need within a brand-new system.
Here's an example: If you notice your lawn is dying out, reform would be sprinkling chemicals on it to feed the grass and kill the weeds. Non-reformist reform is upending the lawn and starting over with fresh sod and soil.”
