According to the organizers: "We have a meeting on the table. Elected and appointed officials, as well as educators and parents, are becoming familiar with the NYS Assembly Bill A03648, which appropriates $25,000,000, nearly for a lot of the essential things we’ve been demanding for, collectively. We’re proud to have organized around community, movement, and justice regarding our demonstrations and efforts to decolonize education. Since this Summer, we’ve been planning a significant disturbance of our business as a usual society because our Black lives matter."

Would you like to read it? Come to the store and ask for a copy. It’s as simple as that. Says Binnacle: "We want our community to read this wonderful book, and to read it together." Transformative justice seeks to solve the problem of violence at the grassroots level, without relying on punishment, incarceration, or policing. Community-based approaches to preventing crime and repairing its damage have existed for centuries. However, in the atmosphere of contemporary criminal justice systems, they are often marginalized and operate under the radar. ‘Beyond Survival’ puts these strategies front and center as real alternatives to today’s failed models of confinement and ‘correction.’ Binnacle Books is a ALBB Sponsor, thank you!
