Come learn about North American political prisoners from 4-6 PM, and write
a letter or a birthday card to one of them. Then watch and discuss Books
Not Bars, a film about juvenile incarceration in this country. Following
the movie, the band Rag And Bone Men will get you dancing!
A donation of $5 or a dictionary is requested— All proceeds go to Portland
Books to Prisoners and Books to Oregon Prisoners. For more info, email
