Over the past 15 months, demand from people in prison for Level's educational material has increased a whopping 100%+ every month. And we're still in stealth mode. What does this tell you? #prisoneducation #OER #creativecommons #education learnlevel.org/impact/

Are you experienced in #CSUnplugged and #ComputationalThinking? Level is hiring a contract writer to adapt CS Unplugged content for low income adults. Fill out the Join Level form at learnlevel.org for more information.

🚨BIG ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 We are launching our next Level guide: Food Prep Certification! Job training resources are so crucial for helping prepare people to hit the ground running upon release, and we hope this guide will help them do exactly that.

In this stack of outgoing mail, we just sent our 4000th guide! We’re proud of what we’ve done so far and can’t wait to see how many more guides we can distribute in the years to come

We mostly send Level guides in bulk to other distributors (hundreds of guides per box) but recently word is getting out and people in prison are mailing us directly asking for educational and job training guides. #creativecommons #prisoneducation #oer #openeducation

Supremely awesome story about the collaboration between Freebird Books and NYC Books Through Bars @BtBsNYC to pivot their #bookstoprisoners operation during #covid publishersweekly.com/pw/by-t… #prisoneducation

A warm welcome to the newest #bookstoprisoners program - X Books in Atlanta. It takes a lot to start up a new nonprofit that sends books to people in prison. Contrats on the effort. xbooks.org/

*Racial Disparities In Men's Imprisonment Persists* The Bureau of Justice Statistics released this information as a part of a press release that tries to claim that that Black Americans are incarcerated at the lowest rate in 30 years. Huh?? Say that again?? #decarceration #prison

A letter from one of our learners ... "the only thing holding me back is the lack of any classes or programs in prisons and of course the no money to buy art books, supplies and stuff like that... This booklet from Level is the only thing really helping me." #prisoneducation
