Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women

This Friday evening, starting at 6 pm, I will be doing a meet-and-greet, selling copies of Resistance Behind Bars and Tenacious, at the ArtWalk on Friday in Phoenix at CONSPIRE, a lovely vegan cafe and art gallery: CONSPIRE 901 N 5th St Phoenix, AZ 85004 (602) 237-5446 www.conspirephx.com/ If you're in Phoenix, come by and say hello!

WORTH: 7th Annual Celebration of SisterhoodThis past winter I joined the Sister Circle for WORTH (Women on the Rise Telling Herstory), an amazing organization of formerly incarcerated women and their allies.

There are no upcoming events for Resistance Behind Bars at this time. I will be spending the rest of the year working on a second edition of the book (!!) for its Fall 2012 release, co-editing Don't Leave Your Friends Behind from a zine series into a book, and continuing to put out Tenacious: Art and Writings by Women in Prison.

I'm participating in a zine reading this Saturday at Bluestockings Bookstore. Details below

Saturday, December 5th @ 7PM
Reading: Alison Piepmeier "Girl Zines"
With Victoria Law, Jenna Freedman, and Lauren Jade Martin

Ashanti Alston (former BLA member and Prisoner of War, current co-chair of the Jericho Movement) will read from his upcoming memoir.

No upcoming events at the moment. In the meantime, here are some photos from the panel discussion on Incarceration, Resistance, Costs and Consequences in Oakland!
