Hey Changemakers!

Many of you likely attended Michelle Alexander’s talk on her explosive book “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness” a few weeks back on Tulane’s Campus. Even if you don’t agree with her conclusions, the topic is worth digging into deeper. And if you do agree with her views, we don’t want you to get stuck in despair of the current system. Under the tag “Inspired By Michelle Alexander” we’ve included events, articles, videos, and organizations that can help you better understand the problem -AND- figure out how to support potential solutions. We hope you enjoy the resources below; please let us know what we’ve missed!
