Firestorm Books<p>This weekend we're hosting a panel discussion with Eric King, co-editor of "Rattling the Cages," alongside Vic Liu and James Kilgore, creators of the new book "The Warehouse: A Visual Primer on Mass Incarceration." These books help readers see the impact of incarceration, visualizing the pain, loss, hope, and resilience of those locked inside and their families on the outside. Together, panelists will discuss the roles art and literature play in the movement for abolition.</p><p>Register for this free, virtual event and find copies of "Rattling the Cages" and "The Warehouse" at <a href="https://firestorm.coop/events/3261-rattling-the-cages-visualizing-carceral-repression.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">firestorm.coop/events/3261-rat</span><span class="invisible">tling-the-cages-visualizing-carceral-repression.html</span></a>.
