In response to the state-sanctioned outbreak in San Quentin, we've launched an emergency COVID-19 zine featuring work from a few of our loved ones in SQ. Engage with their works and join us in a community-led call to action to #StopSanQuentinOutbreak

"in the COVID-19 plan released by Joe #Biden's transition team there is no mention of reducing #prison populations. Agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or #ICE, are once again conducting raids and filling detention centers." https://t.co/U2MyU9Rzde

Staggering when you really look at it. And don't forget that #detained #immigrants are a part of the whole pie. Source: https://t.co/hud8C8dwCB

Secret Ocean by Sarah Kim and Adamu Chan. Ethereal, authentic art in solidarity with the lives lost to COVID19 and mass incarceration. #art #ocean #covid19 #decarceration #mourning #strength

[Prison Renaissance Zine @Prison_Zine]

coverage of our COVID-19 zine in the Columbia Journalism Review: "Adamu's poem [in the zine] was about missing his people not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. 'The poem is also about being separated from my colleagues and my friends.'” https://t.co/b9Ch9eXwQp

"I'm hoping to meet you in a future where we create art only as a celebration of life, and not as a means to highlight injustice," writes our incarcerated artist and friend Adamu Chan. #StopSanQuentinOutbreak

“I Can’t Breathe” by Ty Lindquist. This poem is from one of our fellow artists incarcerated in Norco.

@jfagone @sfchronicle I love this!! And recommend checking out some of beautiful worlds depicted in the purple section of the 2018 #CareNotCages zine put together by incarcerated artists from San Quentin and Santa Rita Jail: https://t.co/LGKCg7lwW1 @PrsnRenaissance. Also the brand new @Prison_Zine!

[Prison Renaissance Zine @Prison_Zine]

@therealvali Thank you for amplifying as we uplift the works of our loved ones inside & take action together!

[Vali Chandrasekaran @therealvali]

This zine made by inmates at San Quentin prison during the pandemic is like nothing I’ve ever seen. @Prison_Zine

Today: The phenomenal @Prison_Zine team launches a special edition and phone bank for our artists inside. Help us fight for their rights and the COVID-19 disaster happening at the CDCR and SQ. #LetThemGo #StopSanQuentinOutbreak

[Prison Renaissance Zine @Prison_Zine]

Our magazine launch and phone banking event is in less than 2 hours!!! Hear from artists calling directly from inside San Quentin, and demand justice from Governor @GavinNewsom with us. https://t.co/pQvTdAi1Gi

Let's unpack what the state deems "crime". The state legitimizes many forms of harm. Prison is harm. The outbreak at San Quentin is harm. Engage with works of incarcerated artists like Larry White & join us in taking action.
