-**Abolition Now** (**AN**) is a digitally curated, searchable open-source web platform documenting an unprecedented flow of
-social movement and political art in the era of “new abolition,” spanning from the birth of the Movement for Black
-Lives, through the George Floyd uprisings, and into the present. These images trouble the foundational ideological
-relationships between crime and punishment by creating political art directed against punishment and carceral systems,
-and toward new social relations and worlds.
+**Abolition Now: Images for Study and Struggle** (**AN**) is a digitally curated, searchable, and open-source database that documents an unprecedented flow of social movement art in the era of “new abolition,” which spans from the birth of the Movement for Black Lives (circa 2012), through the George Floyd uprisings, and into the present. The database contains art concerned with a range of issues, and a multitude of movements, that are directed towards new abolition, and its historic antecedents. AN features short vignette and long form interviews with artists, organizers, and curators about the production and contexts of their work and the image. When possible, AN traces how people reuse and repurpose movement art. Recreated as posters, stickers, postcards, book covers, social media posts, and digital shares sometimes in the millions, art often takes on a life of its own. The participatory platform includes educational commentary, artist study guides, a submission portal, and user guides to empower people to build their own Canopy-IIIF digital exhibit or archive. 
 
-Vetted collectively by artists, organizers, and activist scholars, AN is an archive from below, engaging the art and
-the artists who are directly impacted by or speaking back to carceral systems. Against the disappearance of this work
-in official archives and mainstream media, we provide access points to the images, the voices (interviews), and the
-study (guides) of historic struggles. We trace, when possible, how and why these images were created, and how they have
-been used and re-purposed, pointing to the span of their reach. AN is also a space to explore the visceral disgust and
-anger with carceral systems as well as the beauty in the visions, tensions, and challenges of world-building. Every
-time you arrive at the portals of this digital world, you will encounter abolition as its images exist now, which is
-to say past in present, prefiguring the future, on the move.
-
-We invite you to join us in collective growth by contributing your images, your knowledge about these and related
-images, your art, your voices.
+With research, classroom, and community organizing uses, AN acts as a counter-archive and provides room to study the visual language and scale of abolition. It allows us to work through its meanings, tensions, and possibilities. AN holds space for the labor of movement artists who are otherwise disappeared from or intentionally misinterpreted by mainstream media, official archives, and politics. It is a space of study where people, whether new to or familiar with abolition, can make connections between movements; witness symbols of beauty, hope, disgust, and rage; and explore visions for alternative paths to justice. The cumulative design of the database generates rich terrain for studying and connecting with the ongoing world presence of new abolition images. Every time you arrive at the portals of Abolition Now, you will encounter abolition as its images exist now, which is to say past in present, prefiguring the future, and on the move.
