Thanks for your PLP support at the Bay Area Book Fest!

Thanks to everyone who supported the Prisoners Literature Project at the Bay Area Book Festival. During the event, we:

 – gave out over 1,800 flyers and hundreds of PLP bookmarks.
– raised thousands of dollars for our non-profit.
– added almost 90 new people to our email list.
– gave many hundreds of new people an introduction to the PLP and our work for prisoners.
 
Thanks again to all our volunteers and everybody who stopped by our booth!

Sending books to incarcerated people for over 35 years

Prisoners Literature Project is an inclusive, all-volunteer, grassroots nonprofit whose purpose is to encourage reading, the pursuit of knowledge, and self-determination among incarcerated people. By sending free reading materials to those behind bars, PLP aims to foster learning and critical thinking and help people prepare to lead successful lives after incarceration. We believe that all people have a right to read.

Please consider donating to the PLP or volunteering your time (if you live in the Bay Area, CA!) to help us answer letters from prisoners who write us from all over the United States.
