Many thanks to A. Naomi Paik and Arianna Salgado for these links:

Here’s an article on replacing Statesville prison with 2 new prisons at the cost of $1 billion. Here is a GoFundMe for the PNAP graduate, Michael Broadway, who died in Statesville recently.

Here is the link to Organized Communities Against Deportations (OCAD), where Arianna worked before moving on to the Prison + Neighborhood Arts Project (PNAP).

Here is an article about Rasmea Odeh that links her pro-Palestine organizing, the weaponizing of immigration policy, and her deportation to Jordan.

Here is a link to the Chicago Torture Justice Center and to Mothers Activating Movements for Abolition and Solidarity (MAMAS), which both organize for justice for the Chicago police torture survivors.

The Guardian did an investigative series on the links between Chicago cop and Guantanamo torture regimes here by focusing on Richard Zuley, who was also the architect of Mohammedou Houbeini (Ould Slahi)’s torture at Gitmo.
