Cafe Luigart & Book Launch
RSVP encouraged LaverneZ@gmail.com
Beneath the Mountain presents “a selection of writings from unfree radicals – enslaved people, political prisoners, jailed revolutionaries, labor activists, imprisoned Native American insurgents – who contribute to the cannon of contemporary abolitionist thought and anti-prison organizing.” Can we evolve from current forms of policing, surveillance, and prison? Can we move to restorative forms of justice?
These writers “show us how to organize, how ideology can provide guidelines for our actions, and why cultivating the qualities of revolutionary love and hope are necessary to realize our freedom dreams.”
“Revolutionary love, speaks to the way we protect, respect, and empower each other while standing up to state terror. . . . And to encourage the solidarity and unity essential for organizing in dangerous times and places.”
Local Kentucky writers, Judi Jennings, LeTonia Jones, Tayna Fogel, Pam McMichael and more will read 5 min excerpts. One of the organizers of this project is Noelle Hanrahan, Esq. P.I. She specializes research and interviews for civil and criminal defense investigations, and is a licensed private investigator in Pennsylvania and barred in Pennsylvania. Ms. Hanrahan has a B.A. from Stanford University, and an M.A. in Criminal Justice, from Boston University, and a J.D. from Rutgers University Law School.
