Oh hey, Mariame Kaba is doing an online talk on Nov 4, 5p eastern, about zines and making a better future from the archives.
She wrote our last #SlowBookClub read, We Do This ‘Til We Free Us, so i imagine this will come from a #PICAbolition lens. Regardless, it feels like something a lot of you would be interested in from library angles!
Hello Fedi! We are Michigan Abolition and Prisoner Solidarity (MAPS), a collective of anarchists and prison+PIC abolitionists based on occupied Odawa, Ojibwe and Boodewadomi and Wyandot land. We amplify prisoner voices across the MDOC and cultivate relationships with folks across the prison walls. We publish a quarterly newsletter (free for prisoners!) and navigate repressive MDOC mailroom policies.
#introduction I’m a project assistant/plant procurement queen for a native landscaping firm. The rest of the time my husband and I raise a small human. I read as much as possible and listen to A LOT of podcasts and lectures.
I'm an adoptive parent who yells a lot about the harms of plenary adoption/severance and family separation and the urgency of abolishing those systems.
My main interests right now are #picabolition #reproductivejustice #familypreservation #adopteevoices #ffy
Fewer fatal police shootings are recorded by the federal government every year, despite renewed scrutiny of police use of force and millions of dollars spent to encourage local law enforcement to report the data.

In fact, the FBI database contains only about one third of the 7,000 fatal police shootings during 2021 — down from half when The Post first started tracking.
Happy Friday--something to watch!
