No matter how powerless those caught up in the web of the law may feel, there is a chance to regain agency, argues Butler. Through groundbreaking and sometimes controversial methods—jury nullification (voting “not guilty” in drug cases as a form of protest), just saying “no” when the police request your permission to search, and refusing to work inside the system as a snitch or a prosecutor—ordinary people can tip the system towards actual justice. Let’s Get Free is an evocative, compelling look at the steps we can collectively take to reform our broken system.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1595585001\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1595585001.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Butler, Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43577441124413,"sku":"BVV.1595585001.VG","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1595585001-0.jpg?v=1788645633","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/lets-get-free-a-hip-hop-theory-of-justice","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
