Wanted to take this time to highlight our fundraiser, titled Classmates Not Cellmates!
We are raising money to get books & materials to set up study circles between folks who are incarcerated in Louisiana prisons as well as on the outside. These study circles will help build stronger relationships between inside and outside, and get us all "on the same page" for organizing going forward.
Education is a critical for many of us to fully understand what is happening in Louisiana (which has the highest rate of incarceration in the world) as well as around the rest of the country. There are 2.4 million people behind bars, that means we are locked up, and our many of our friends and families are locked up. This is based on a system of slavery, systemic racism, and unquestioned classism.
Decarcerate Louisiana seeks transformation. We want a world free of mass incarceration and the forms of state violence we see everyday from police to prisons to military occupation. We want the right to determine our own future and have support for our communities.
Help us set up these study circles by donating here!
Don't have money? You can help us spread the word by taking a photo of yourself holding a sign that says "Classmates Not Cellmates" and SHARE on social media with the hashtag #ClassmatesNotCellmates.
As always, thanks for your support. We couldn't do it without you! Onwards,
Decarcerate Louisiana Volunteers
