If you are a book club, activist org, or other group doing abolitionist work, I'd like to support you. I'd like to send you @prisonculture's new book "We Do This 'Til We Free Us." Let me know how many you need.

An insightful look at data-sharing practices. SPOILER: IT BEGINS AT A YOUNG AGE
A report from our colleagues @BerkeleyLaw found that 10,000 CA youth are tracked using electronic monitoring every year--increasing information sharing to law enforcement about young people's movements. law.berkeley.edu/wp-content/…
See y'all there! ✊🏾
