Tomorrow isn’t the last day you can support the amazing #CloseTheJailATL campaign, but it IS the last day to do so by simply buying a great book! Maybe even a signed and personalized one! Let’s push through to the end and help turn the Atlanta city jail into a community center!!
We’ve raised close to $3500 so far for the Communities Over Cages: Close the Jail ATL campaign. Tomorrow (Friday 12/11) is the LAST DAY to buy books and support this critical, beautiful abolitionist work. Don’t miss out!!
