Asheville Prison Books Packaging Party & Volunteer Orientation
Jun 16 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Firestorm Books & Coffee

The APB monthly packaging party is a chance to help pack up a mess of books headed to facilities across the Carolinas, to learn more about our project, and to spend a lovely afternoon meeting new people, or catching up with old friends! :)

No time to volunteer but want to support our work? We can always use your financial support (https://www.paypal.me/AVLPrisonBooks) and your soft cover book donations!

——–

ABOUT US

APB has been sending books to folks incarcerated in the Southeast since 1999. We currently send books to people in jails and prisons across North and South Carolina.

APB is a prison abolitionist project. We send books to folks who are locked up because it is one of the best ways we have found to show solidarity with them. As a project rooted in anti-authoritarian politics, we view prison as a tool the State uses to uphold an unjust social and economic order based in large part on white supremacy. When dealing with a system that thrives on dehumanization and isolation, finding ways to connect with and meet the every day needs of incarcerated people is a crucial part of challenging the legitimacy of this repressive institution.

While Orna embraces her new position and tries to balance its demands with her home life, she begins to experience escalating sexual harassment from her boss. Her rapid rise through the ranks and her increasing financial success seem to parallel a pattern of predatory behavior which ultimately brings her career and marital relationship to the brink. This timely and devastating story is expertly told by long time feminist filmmaker Michal Aviad.

This series is designed to allow us to use film as our window into the minds and culture of Israel.
