The northern Manitoba riding of Churchill-Keewatinook Aski, a predominantly rural riding home to multiple First Nations, had a child poverty rate of 64.2%, the highest in the country. That's more than 3.5X the national average. https://t.co/ADWfenkl0E

LGBTQ inmates can experience higher rates of violence. But having an outside connection can help keep them safe #PenPals https://t.co/Co57ijU3Ak

"While much has been said about the brutality of the prison system in the US, LGBTQ prisoners in Canada don’t always live in much better conditions."

Thank you to @walrusmagazine and @clogouj for this powerful article about the project! #penpal #prison #abolition https://t.co/vpbO2RJbQI

The Prisoner Correspondence Project inverts the typical power dynamics of prisons, building relationships of care and empathy between #LGBTQ2S #prisoners and their pen pals on the outside. @madihaslam #PrisonAbolition #Abolish https://t.co/FfIEdrQIXl
