Join the Committee Against Police Brutality as we host the screening of "Books Not Bars" a documentary film about public policy, prisons, the justice system, and youth advocacy around the declining investment in public education. CAPB is making the call to mobilize different organizations to come together for a peoples power assembly, addressing the different issues surrounding youth in different areas of San Diego leading up to the prison industrial complex.
Preview http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/books_not_bars About Books not Bars This inspiring youth-led movement against the growth of the prison industry in the U.S.. Books Not Bars organizes the largest network of families of incarcerated youth and champion alternatives to California’s costly, broken prison system.
