The making of this exhibition has been filled with wonder, determination, inspiration, and resolve. More Beautiful shines a light on the dreams, everyday experiences, and transformative ideas of the people who inhabit “life row”–those facing life sentences in Illinois.
We’ll have food, drinks, a “humans of life row play list” and a brief program at 7:30pm.
The exhibition will serve as a water collection site in collaboration with the Coalition to Decarcerate Illinois and the Nickolas Lee Foundation. Attendees are invited to bring sealed bottles of water to the exhibition to be donated to communities at Stateville Prison. Read more about the water crisis in Illinois prisons here.
American history is longer, larger, more various, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it.—James Baldwin
Help us…Support Destine
April 17, 2024We are raising legal funds for Destine Phillips, our dear friend and abolitionist organizer who co-leads the REAL Youth Initiative. Destine is an anchor to our community in many ways. She’s facing a challenging court battle after she was profiled and arrested in a deeply conservative county.
I just donated $100 and am looking for folks to match or offer more to her fund. Would you consider donating and sharing with folks you think could support?
Thanks, comrade.
