Kaepernick Publishing is a publishing company founded by activist and football player Colin Kaepernick in March 2019[1][2] for "black and brown writers to control their narratives and retain ownership."[3] The company's "Abolition for the People" project published 30 reprinted and commissioned essays about police abolition, prison abolition, and Abolish ICE[4][5][6][7] in partnership with Medium[8][9] as part of an ongoing partnership to create content.[10][11] The series is meant to demonstrate the failures of police reform in the United States[12] and included authors like Angela Davis, Ruha Benjamin, and Kiese Laymon.[citation needed] In 2020, a joint venture with Audible was announced, including an audiobook of a memoir by Kaepernick.[13][14]
