Surviving The Future: Abolitionist Queer Strategies

Surviving the Future gathers radical queer voices forging militant strategies for collective survival amid pandemic, uprising, and a collapsing world—refusing liberal hope and assimilation in favor of abolition, mutual care, and rebellion. Centering Black, trans, and queer life, these essays reject inclusion in systems built on anti-Blackness, cisheteronormativity, and settler colonialism, instead imagining subversive alternatives rooted in solidarity. From trans/queer infrastructure to resisting pinkwashing and state violence, this collection offers uncompromising visions for queer liberation beyond representation. Contributors include Che Gossett, Yasmin Nair, Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, Kitty Stryker, Toshio Meronek, and more.
