Books for Prisoners
The DC Books to Prisons Project provides a critical link between citizens who are incarcerated and those outside prison walls by sending donated reading material to prisoners and educating the public about issues surrounding prisoner education and literacy. DC-area volunteers are always needed to help pack books. You can volunteer any Wednesday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Foundry United Methodist Church (1500 16th St. NW, room 203). At present, the only books needed are English and Spanish dictionaries and thesauruses. The group can also use cash donations to pay for postage. For more information, contact Kenji at 202/986-2081.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
