Political Prisoners Event (HOPE/BSU collab)
February 3 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Join HOPE in Prisoners Solidarity Month from January 13th to February 10th!
We aim to create a month of intentional programming to uplift voices from inside prisons, jails, and detention centers and spread awareness on the political struggles of those behind bars. We hope to shed light on inhumane practices within carceral institutions, and uplift how people are resisting through community, education, and organizing. As practitioners of Transformative Justice, we believe in addressing cycles of harm and violence and not solely responding to them, which means supporting grassroots education on the inside and outside.
We are collaborating with other RSOs on campus to look at mass incarceration through an intersectional lens. Exploring the ways that our current criminal legal system exploits and weaponizes certain identities before, during, and after incarceration.
We welcome you to join us during our weeks of solidarity in whatever capacity you are able to and work with us to build a future to break all cages and free all prisoners across the globe.
