We have free copies for anyone in prison in the United States or Canada.
Thanks to @equalityalec.bsky.social for copies of "Copaganda," which shows the role media, security forces, universities and "liberal" politicians have in growing the security state and ensuring unequal justice. We'll send these to the prison book clubs we support and fulfill individual requests.
Thank you for your encouragement!

I’d be grateful if you could donate anything (Jewish tradition is $18 or multiples). A local effort to show solidarity. pcrf1.app.neoncrm.com/mnjewsforgaz...
