Community Caravan: A Day of Abolitionist Action

This Sunday, May 31, from 12-5 p.m., WPJC is joining WWU Shred the Contract, WWU SUPER, and YDSA to co-host a caravan from the Whatcom Jail to WWU. The purpose is to call on university administration to terminate its contract with Aramark (a food vendor with deep ties to the prison industrial complex) and replace it with a self-operated dining service. The action is intended to uplift local prison abolition efforts and to raise awareness of the issues of mass incarceration and prison exploitation. Join us by participating either in person or at home! Learn more here and register here.
