For communities targeted and ravaged by policing and militarization, safety is a paramount concern. But where do we turn? To the state, with its warped ideas of security and all its attendant violences?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on more than a decade of \"convivial research and insurgent learning,\" alongside struggles across the San Francisco Bay Area, and in dialogue with struggles across the Global South, the authors argue for self-organized, locally rooted insurgent conviviality.
