Wooden Shoe Books is partnering with Books Behind Bars @booksbehindbarsnj for a book drive in honor of @penamerica Prison Banned Books Week: October 25-31. Books Behind Bars is a prison abolition project that mails free books to incarcerated people. To participate, come down in person to the Wooden Shoe and purchase a book to be donated to Books Behind Bars. The deadline is November 24th. Every book you buy/donate before November 24th will be matched by a generous foundation. This means your donation has double the impact!We know that more books are banned in prisons than anywhere else in the country, and censorship efforts everywhere are increasing at an alarming rate. From an anarchist and abolitionist standpoint, sending free books to our incarcerated community members is a radical act of solidarity, mutual aid, and love. Please join us in this effort. Come down (until 11/24) and pick out any book of your choosing to be donated to our friends on the inside. #PrisonBannedBooksWeek #SendingBooksIsSolidarity #CareNotCages #EducationNotIncarceration #BooksBehindBars #PrisonAbolitionNow
