The authors argue that the Black Lives Matter movement is not just a protest against police brutality, but a call for a fundamental reFree Downloading of our society. They argue that we must move beyond the language of diversity and inclusion and instead embrace a transformative agenda that addresses the root causes of racial inequality.

This book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the Black Lives Matter movement, from its origins in the Black Power movement of the 1960s to its resurgence in the wake of the police killings of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. The second part examines the movement's key principles and demands, and explores the ways in which it has challenged the status quo. The third part offers a radical vision for social transformation, and argues that the Black Lives Matter movement is a necessary step on the path to a more just and equitable society.
