🌟🚨Announcing our first-ever States of Solitary event on July 18th in DC—Nelson Mandela's birthday! In partnership with @hrw, @eatonhotel and Zealous, this artivism (art+activism) event uses artistic expression to unite 150 experts, including survivors of solitary confinement, funders, advocates, and state-partners to end solitary confinement in the US. The goal is to highlight the ongoing humanitarian crisis that is solitary confinement, and to envision a future without it.
