Today Zephyr starts her new job as my fundraising assistant. She says, “until prisons can be abolished, education should be available for all! Help us to raise money for this new program so I can stop working! I already hate it!” csusb.edu/makeagift/CSCE
Thanks to your generous donations, we are now 27% of the way to our goal of offering a #CSUSB credit-bearing course at the California Rehabilitation Center this fall! Please share to help us get the word out far and wide! csusb.edu/makeagift/CSCE

So excited to be presenting our workshop "Transformative Learning: Getting Started in Prison Education" with @MarisolAngelica and Vanessa Ovalle-Perez at the IDEA Student Leadership Conference on Saturday! eventbrite.com/e/idea-studen…
I saw the beginnings of this program as a budding prison scholar in grad school. Please consider donating if you're able. And if you're curious/skeptical about the benefits of college in prison, DM me! I'd love to chat with you about it.
In fall 2021, we will offer CSUSB’s first credit-bearing course at the California Rehabilitation Center, but we need your help to make this happen! We are raising funds to cover the cost of tuition for 10 incarcerated students. Please share widely!  csusb.edu/makeagift/CSCE

What are your favorite readings (in any genre--memoir, essay, poetry) written by currently or formerly #incarcerated people? I'm putting together a course on confinement writing to teach inside a correctional facility in the fall #prisoneducation #incarceration #prisonwriting

"While prison book banning policies are usually swiftly reversed after public outcry, they shouldn’t even be instituted to begin with. Strong communities are built on the backs of books, and books should not be viewed as contraband." medium.com/binderful/want-to…
Reflections on the removal of books from the EJP library... We still don't know how it happened and no one has yet been held accountable. #EJP #FTLCampaign
Hear @EJPillinois director Rebecca Ginsburg's response to the return of the books to the EJP library shelves at the Danville prison.

If you are in prison in Alabama, you are allowed just 4 books. Four. "Excess items will be considered contraband and will be disposed of in accordance with AR 306, Contraband and Evidence Management." Raise your hand if the room you're in RIGHT NOW has more than 4 books. 👋
