DSPDX will be partnering with Working Films to host a free screening series,Beyond Walls, showcasing five short documentaries and a community conversation with local change makers and leaders. The screening will take place on Monday, November 27th from 7:00PM to 9PM at Clinton Street Theater.
The films chosen for Beyond Walls, a Working Films led program, examine prison abolition from a wide range of perspectives with the hope of inspiring people to imagine and take action toward a world invested in community and not punitive practices. Learn more here.
Your donations matter, no matter the amount.
We could not continue our public service and community advocacy without our strong network of donors and supporters! Thank you for your solidarity and commitment to changing the world for good.
