•As usual, we’ll dissect and disseminate current news and events related to 13TH amendment slavery from the perspectives of abolitionists.

We see you… Maryland’s frozen schools and hot new 35 million dollar juvi-prison. Pay to stay jails. The Sessions Reefer madness 2.0. We’ll talk about how and why Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow got banned and unbanned by NJ prisons in only a couple of hours.
