NEW BOOK REVIEW AVAILABLE NOW! Always Open Access. If you're interested in submitting a book review for publication in our journal, please reach out. apswjournal.com
NEW at Abolition Perspectives in Social Work: An excellent review of the new text from @haymarketbooks, "Abolition and Social Work: Possibilities, Paradoxes, and the Practice of Community Care." OPEN ACCESS: apsw-ojs-uh.tdl.org/apsw/article/v…
Earlier this year I shared my thoughts on the duopoly that controls our electoral politics and the stance I think social workers should take if we truly wish to be a profession that cares about justice. The full article is available free here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Art is deeply connected to abolition because it can envision something not yet a reality but so close we can feel it. “Dream Create Liberate” is upEND’s first creative publication that brings our dreams of a world free of family policing into being. 1/2 upendmovement.org/dream/
This is why "Abolitionist Perspectives in Social Work" was founded. To disseminate scholarship that would otherwise not be welcomed in mainstream social work journals, but is desperately needed to promote the values of our profession. Thank you to these authors for your courage.

New in Abolitionist Perspectives in Social Work: "Speaking Against Silence: Examining Social Work's Response to Genocide." OPEN ACCESS: apsw-ojs-uh.tdl.org/apsw/article/v…
Just as the written word can be used to advance our freedom dreams, the written word is also used to halt these dreams. In this week's TOWARD LIBERATION, we ask you to join us in calling on @nasw to stop platforming hate through their journal. READ MORE: bit.ly/42cYBL2
Please continue to write to the Editor and Editorial Board to demand this harmful commentary published by @nasw be retracted. To be clear, this has nothing to do with censoring different opinions. We are calling for retraction because this article contains blatant lies and propaganda that have been thoroughly debunked. It equates any critique of Isr@el with anti-Jew hatred and condemns anyone calling for Palest!nian liberation. This is actively causing harm and should not be welcomed in an academic journal.
