Abolitionist Reading Club

Every fourth Sunday since January 2024

Over the past year Blue Ridge Anarchist Black Cross (BRABC) has hosted a monthly discussion of issues pertaining to incarceration and the penal system in the USA through study and discussion of essays and zines by captured comrades and their allies. In the coming months we will expand our discussion to include currently-incarcerated comrades through an "inside-outside study group." Now is a great time to get involved--come check out what we're up to, and help us launch this exciting project! 

BRABC is a collective of anarchists who believe that jails and prisons, rather than offering a solution to the harms people commit against themselves and their communities, instead make social problems worse. They are a prison abolitionist organization, which is to say they are part of a wider movement working towards an end of incarceration and the creation of alternative, transformative forms of justice in our society.

To increase accessibility for high risk community members, Firestorm requires masking at all indoor events. Learn more
