On Sept 9 1971, inmates at Attica Prison seized control of the prison & presented officials w/ their list of political demands. For 4 days, they organized food distribution, security, medical care & more. On Sept 13, law enforcement stormed the prison killing, torturing & brutalizing those inside.

Happy Indie Bookstore Day! @bookshop.org has FREE SHIPPING this weekend, so it’s a perfect time to buy books for teens who are incarcerated, and there are still plenty of inexpensive options on our registry: bookshop.org/wishlists/70...
last year @nobordersbooks.bsky.social sent 600+ books to Rikers; this year our book drive is for teens who are incarcerated in Brooklyn. please purchase a book if you can—most of these are requested titles, and a $7 Goosebumps book would mean A LOT to a kid in detention bookshop.org/wishlists/70...
