Next Saturday, March 22nd, Firestorm will be hosting Rattling the Cages co-creator Eric King in conversation with two veterans of the George Jackson Brigade—Janine Bertram and Mark Cook. Together they'll reflect on their experiences as political prisoners and the legacy of one of the most prolific US revolutionary groups in the 1970s, which synthesized movements for women's liberation, queer liberation, and Black power.

Register for this free event and find copies of "Ratting the Cages: Oral Histories of North American Political Prisoners" at https://firestorm.coop/events/3337-rattling-the-cages-looking-back-at-the-george-jackson-brigade.html.
