Join us for a screening of the documentary Where Justice Ends, that covers the intersection of two important and timely topics of social justice, conditions within the U.S. prison system and the injustices that befall transgender people encountering the law.
Afterwards, there will be a discussion with Jennifer Love Williams (she/her), a formerly incarcerated Black transwoman, entertainer, activist, and co-chair of Formerly Incarcerated People (FIP) and representative of Black and Pink NYC, a prison abolitionist organization supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive prisoners. She also founded the Jen Love Project, which provides support and care packages to queer and trans individuals newly released from incarceration. Those who attend are encouraged to bring questions.
Trigger Warning: The film includes graphic descriptions of trans-antagonism, self-harm, suicide, physical assault and sexual assault.
