As some of you know, we've been working on the second edition of Mend, a journal that celebrates the work of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people and their families. It is also a publication created by justice-impacted people in Syracuse, New York.
Our launch party will take place on Saturday, February 17, at the Syracuse Central Library, from 12-1:30 p.m. ET and on Zoom. Please consider joining us. The event is open to the public.
