    Jiang discusses her zine More Than This: Meditations on Abolition, Presence, and Staying Soft, which dwells on the roles that presence and experimentation play in abolition and transformative justice. The zine is anchored by the two quotes which appear on page two: Ruth Wilson Gilmore's assertion that "abolition is about presence, not absence" and Mariame Kaba's framing of abolition as "building a million different little experiments." She notes that she wanted to convey through this zine there is nothing natural or inevitable about the expansion of prisons across the American landscape--and that their contingency provides an opening toward transformation. The space the prison takes up could have been (indeed, can be) filled instead with places which support and sustain communities.
