At the opening reception, Anti-Repression Music will perform songs penned by jailhouse lyricists, with letter-writing workshops and a raffle for some of ABO's prized publications throughout the night. The closing reception on January 18th will offer more prison abolition resources and the chance to support ABO Collective's growing network of artists. All works will be for sale, with 100% of ABO's profits going back to support the artists.
