  • Mobile Abolition Library Book Drive

    Mobile Abolition Library Book Drive

    Support the Mobile Abolition Library at Bookworks! The mobile library is creating a collection of books, zines, a video archive of incarcerated narratives, and an abolition seed library. The library will be “a site to reflect on ways we can re-imagine our current world of surveillance, policing, punishment, and care between communities.”

     

    The initiative hopes to have multiple copies of books to leave with readers and communities. Contribute to the traveling library at the event! Learn more about the Mobile Abolition Library project here.
