Somatic abolitionism means tending to the body so we can break the pattern for the generations that follow.

When the work requires withstanding terror.
We can’t think our way through racial horror—our bodies must be conditioned to hold steady.

Stop waiting for them to save us.

Every time they ease up, we forget 500 years of brutality.

Liberation starts when we build our own—our art, our care, our glue between each other. That’s the work we’re doing inside Black Octopus Society.

Liberation isn’t real if it excludes.

My freedom is bound up with Black trans lives, with sisters facing misogynoir, with everyone crushed by colonization, imperialism, and land theft.

That’s the work we’re building inside Black Octopus Society.

Anger is not the enemy. In the face of brutality, numbness is.

If you can watch what’s happening in the world and feel nothing—you’re the problem.

Join us in practicing something different: body-based justice, care, and community inside Black Octopus Society.
