![Independence for whom?
Posted @withregram • @sanjariti Today, people will be talking about “freedom” and “independence”, as if the last few weeks - and years! - didn’t just happen. July’s @yourfeministbookclub theme is LIBERATION - and they are taking it one step further by helping readers examine what that really means.
This month’s book is We Do This 'Til We Free Us: Abolitionist Organizing and Transforming Justice by Miriame Kaba, and 5% of gross proceeds are going to Black and Pink, a prison abolitionist organization dedicated to abolishing the criminal punishment system and liberating LGBTQIA+ people and people living with HIV/AIDS who are affected by that system through advocacy, support, and organizing.
You have until this Saturday, July 9th to get your box - use the link in my bio and CARO at checkout!
💭Do you like cookies? What’s your favorite kind? I love chocolate chip and sugar cookies!
