During the week of September 15-21, 2024, dozens of organizations will be participating in Prison Banned Books Week by highlighting the censorship of books and literature in prisons across the United $tates. This year the focus will be on the new scourge of tablets that are serving to further restrict what literature many prisoners can access and read.

MIM(Prisons) and Anti-Imperialist Prisoner Support (AIPS) will be participating in this campaign by highlighting stories of censorship and tablet restrictions on our website throughout the week. On the streets we will be getting people to sign postcards in support of prisoners fighting censorship in Indiana. We also hope to further the struggle around new restrictions in Missouri. So look out for additional fliers and materials on our website leading up to Prison Banned Books Week.

We call on USW comrades to continue to send in your stories and updates on censorship of literature, and restrictions via tablets, that we can highlight during Prison Banned Books Week. So get your reports in by September 1st.
