Today is officially the 40th Anniversary of the start of the Attica Prison Uprising. You can read some background about the Uprising in a post that I co-wrote at Daily Kos a couple of weeks ago.

Last night, we hosted a terrific event that included reflections about Attica by Michael Deutsch who was one of the lawyers for the Attica Brothers as well as readings from poetry and prose by Attica prisoners and witnesses. For this event, we created a zine that represents an abbreviated version of the Attica 101 Primer that we released last month.

You can download the zine HERE. I hope that you enjoy it.

Special thanks to my partners in creating the zine including Lewis Wallace, Micah Bazant and Katy Groves.
