A playful tool for organizers to navigate contradiction, uncertainty, and commitment in their social movements, Cards for Freedom expresses a stunning visual language of prison abolition and revolution.

In these bleak times, we are battered with an inventory of doom. This 46-card oracle deck encourages conversations and reflection on the deep, difficult, and beautiful work of expanding our political horizons and abolitionist struggle. With striking linocut artwork, a printmaking process wielded by revolutionaries across the globe, Cards for Freedom invites organizers and everyone to forecast, divine, worry, and dream together.

The deck features two types of cards: provocation cards, such as The Eye or The Chameleon, represent identifiable archetypes that can be read in multiple ways, and anchor cards, such as History and Discipline, engage with core concepts in abolitionist and revolutionary movements. The box also includes a 96-page companion guidebook, featuring an introduction from the Yarrow Institute for Organizing and Analysis, recommendations for how to use the cards including full-color spreads, and a description of each of the cards that seek to spark questions as well as bolster intuition.

Full of generosity and wisdom, Cards for Freedom teaches us that the unknown is terrifying but bursting with potential, that there is joy in solidarity and collective struggle, that we must fight to save our planet and each other. The deck will be cherished by organizers for years to come.
