*Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick is set to release an anthology of essays calling for abolition of the police and prisons. “Today, I’m excited to share that we at @KaepernickPublishing will be releasing our first title, ABOLITION FOR THE PEOPLE: THE MOVEMENT FOR A FUTURE WITHOUT POLICING & PRISONS, on 10/12/21,” the former San Francisco 49er posted on Instagram. “This anthology builds on decades of organizing and writing against policing & prisons & features the work of over 30 contributors plus a reader’s guide, infographics, & cover art by Emory Douglas.” Kaepernick, who will edit the anthology, will release the essays through his publishing company. The athlete and activist has been a vocal supporter of defunding the police. In 2016 he kicked off the kneeling movement that saw players in every major sports league kneeling before games in protest of police brutality.
