#SocialBridging: Letterwriting as Freedom Work with Love & Protect
Join us for this workshop with Rachel Caidor and Deana Lewis. This event is co-organized by the DePaul's Women's Center & CBD
Love & Protect is a grassroots collective working to support and free trans and non-trans women, non-binary, gender nonconforming, and trans men of color who have been incarcerated for defending themselves against interpersonal violence.
In this workshop, Love & Protect will share their work and present ways that people outside of jails and prisons can support people who are incarcerated through letters and emails. This support is an important way to work towards freedom and liberation.
