The W.O.W. Project, Chinatown Art Brigade, and Immigrant Social Services invites you to a zine launch party, “A Jail in Chinatown: Zines on Abolition,” on October 19 from 6-8pm at the Storefront for Ideas (127 Walker Street New York, NY 10013). We are so excited to launch two zines, “Envisioning Abolition in Our Local Asian American Communities” by Chinatown Art Brigade (CAB), and “The Jail, the Police, and the People’s Chinatown” by Serena Yang that explore the connections between the proposed jail in Chinatown, the police and other forms of state control, and people’s struggles for self-determination in Chinatown. Swing by to pick up copies of these zines, enjoy light refreshments, and engage in activities and conversation around the urgent questions that ignite these zines.

Thank you to The Laundromat Project for funding the printing of “The Jail, the Police, and the People’s Chinatown.”
