Join Flying Over Walls/SF Bay Area Black & Pink for Caging Deviance: An Introduction The Prison Industrial Complex & Queer Resistance. This workshop will introduce and explore the underlying framework of the prison industrial complex and the abolition vs reform frameworks. Participants will develop a historical analysis of the policing and incarceration of LGBTQ people while exploring current issues and alternatives to incarceration.
The workshop is 100% free to the public but we will be accepting donations to help cover the cost of stamps and letter-writing / card-making materials. We hope this workshop will motivate folks to take action against the policing and incarceration of LGBTQ community and become committed to dismantling the prison industrial complex. Lastly, we hope to find new pen-pals for our queer and trans family currently behind bars.
About Flying Over Walls: We are a Queer/Trans Prisoner Solidarity Project in the SF Bay Area, currently working in collaboration with Black & Pink. Our vision is for direct solidarity with our community on the inside through letter writing, political education and direct action to combat the damaging effects of criminalization as they relate to queer/trans experiences and through a queer/trans lens. We are interested in looking closely at the ways that marginalized bodies and lifestyles are stigmatized, surveilled and policed as well as how to resist, respond and build resilience. for more info: http://flyingoverwalls.wordpress.com/
