MonkeyWrench Books* will be hosting a series of prison-related events every Monday in August, featuring films, local organizations, and individuals directly affected by the Prison Industrial Complex telling their stories. The series is a prelude to *Critical Resistance 10*, happening on September 26-28 in Oakland, California, which will celebrate a decade of struggle against the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC), and of carving out a path toward "genuinely safe, healthy communities that respond to harm without relying on prisons and punishment.
