Greetings!
“Young people are the spark of every revolution. It is the youth who dare to imagine a new world and fight for it, often when their elders are too tired or too compromised to resist.” – Mumia Abu-Jamal
It is critical to organize intergenerationally. It is also really fun.
This past summer Prison Radio welcomed 30 interns from all over the country! In the Philly office, in the San Francisco office, and remotely from their bedrooms from Chicago to Littleton, Colorado. They dug into the day-to-day work: recording commentaries, making videos, thanking donors, conducting radio station outreach, managing the vast Prison Radio archives, updating correspondent pages, social media outreach, researching, and building relationships.
It was a summer of hard work, great snacks, music, community and lifelong connections.
It is simply amazing when young people who are brave, committed, and warm reach out and find Prison Radio. As a 35-year-old nonprofit we have no intention of slowing. Our interns know that abolition is the right fight and the work supporting prisoners is key! We work with young people to build their skills and academic work in – divinity, public policy, criminology and law.
