TJLP cordially invites you to a

Volunteer Mobilizing Weekend!

We are gathering for 2 days in Union Pier, Michigan (1.5 hours from Chicago) at a farm collective called The Chicory Center for some beautiful community building and space sharing. Plan on spending the night! You can camp or sleep in the farm house.

Join us as we discuss The Prison Industrial Complex and Trans issues, Checking Your Privilege in Organizing, and Volunteer/Contribution Opportunities with TJLP. We are starting a variety of new and exciting projects including a trans prisoner ‘zine, a penpal/correspondence program with folks on the inside, and grassroots radical funding strategies. We need you! And, of course, we’ll have food, collective knowledge, and a fierce dance party!

We have limited space so are taking RSVP’s. Please send your RSVP to LisaMarie at lisa@tjlp.org to secure your spot. Please let us know the following with your RSVP:

1) Do you have a car or would you need a rideshare? Where are you located?
2) Are you able to donate food stuff for the retreat?
3) Do you have any needs for accessibility, translation, dietary restrictions, and/or comfortability we can account for ahead of time?
4) Do you prefer to sleep inside or outside (farmhouse or camping)?

Looking forward to this magical weekend in the

woods with each of you!

Dearest Friends and Allies of the TJLP,

We are reaching out to you for resource sharing and support. TJLP has grown up too fast for its britches! We are seeking new digs. We have been living out of Beyond Media’s office space in exchange for grant writing and have out-grown our space.

We’re seeking a space with a private room for attorney/client meetings. Accessibility is important (bathrooms, public transportation, safety). And most importantly, we are seeking free/cheap. We are able to make contributions or trade in exchange for living space. We come with a wide variety of skillsets that we can share.

We are house-trained and charming. And extremely flexible. If you have any ideas, thoughts, dreams, or know a guy…please pass this email on and contact Lisa (lisa@tjlp.org), Lauren (lauren@tjlp.org), or Owen (owen@tjlp.org).

TJLP thanks you, from the bottoms of our hearts, for your continued love and support.
