This chapter provides a re-evaluation of the preceding chapters and reiterates the author&s;s primary arguments. The author presents possible avenues for collaborative and participatory research, and other co-productive activities with local activists and community-based organizations that can help build safer communities democratically and sustainably from an abolitionist lens. All stakeholders, including local activists, movements, and activist scholars, can work co-productively in solidarity, and agree on general principles that local actors can use to develop something relevant for themselves. International solidarity and social capital building between disparate movements could potentially build the organizing capacity to challenge dominant ideologies and systems of oppression. If general principles can be agreed upon as a result of this solidarity and movement building, local solutions tailored to local needs can be developed from the bottom-up in a way that promotes abolition.
