We teach writing in FL prisons. We believe in the value of every voice, and that strong communities are formed when everyone has the ability to be heard.

For #BannedBooksWeek, we’re highlighting the unjust censorship of political books which impacts countless incarcerated readers each year.
For every book purchased from this reading list, we will be sending a book to someone who is incarcerated. haymarketbooks.org/blogs/358…

Telecom billionaires can't be trusted to protect people's free speech or privacy. Just ask the millions of incarcerated people who are forced to pay companies like GTL or Securus - companies notorious for spying on their customers - to talk to their families.
