The Prisoners Literature Project will have a table at the Oakland Book Festival this Sunday, May 22nd at Oakland City Hall.
If you’re in the area, come say hi & check out the festival – there’s lots of interesting panels, with with more than 90 journalists, novelists, historians, poets, editors, critics, artists, philosophers, and memoirists in over 50 discussions on labor, immigration, drug trafficking, gentrification, censorship, prisons, restorative justice, wealth and inequality, policing, agricultural production, education, glass ceilings, civil disobedience, altruism, activism, and freedom.
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.
