 Study & Struggle\n\nhttps://www.studyandstruggle.com/\n\nOur Study and 
 Struggle program is the first phase of an ongoing project to organize 
 against incarceration and criminalization in Mississippi through four 
 months of political education and community building. We will provide a 
 biweekly curriculum in Spanish and English, discussion questions and 
 reading materials, and food to over one-hundred Mississippians inside and 
 outside prisons. These study groups will participate and correspond with 
 groups from across the country. We will come together once a month for 
 online webinars and workshops. \n\nThe curriculum, built by a combination 
 of currently- and formerly-incarcerated people, scholars, and community 
 organizers, will center around the interrelationship between prison 
 abolition and immigrant detention, with a particular focus on the histories 
 of struggle in Mississippi and the South.\n\nAll curriculm is FREE for
