  3. Abolitionist Futures: A PLSN Discussion Group, August / Political Prisoners
Content

Online/Virtual Event

Monday, August 8th from 7:30pm to 9:00pm

Want to learn more about prison abolition? Looking to explore the role of information in the prison industrial complex? Excited to discuss ways we can collectively offer resources to address violence caused by mass incarceration? Join the club (literally!). This monthly discussion group with Prison Library Support Network will look at a rotating calendar of media resources for discussion, meeting the 2nd Monday of each month at 7:30pm.

While the group's facilitators (and host) are affiliated with libraries, you do not need to be a librarian or information professional to attend this group. We will share our discussion calendar regularly through METRO and the PLSN listserv, so that folks can plan ahead to attend the months that sound interesting to them.

This month's discussion will be about political prisoners:

  • Assata, an Autobiography (Available in all formats at NYPL, BPL and QPL)
  • “Political Prisoners, Prisons, and Black Liberation” by Angela Davis (PDF may automatically download when you click the link)

Please review our Code of Conduct, our Statement on Viewpoints, and details on Interpreter Services.
