TGI Justice members complete PIC training series
On September 8, 2011, 23 members of TGI Justice completed a 5 week Prison Activism training facilitated by James Tracy of the Community Housing Partnership.
During the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) training series, members learned about the politics of prisons in the U.S., honed their public speaking and leadership skills, and shared their own personal thoughts and experiences about the Prison Industrial Complex. Additionally, as a key part of the training, members wrote, directed, and filmed a mini-documentary in which they interviewed each other as first hand experts on the effects of the Prison Industrial Complex on trans women and their communities.
The documentary is in the final stages of being edited. When finished it will be submitted to film festivals and shown at conferences. We will be sure to announce screenings as they occur. Special thanks to James Tracy for bringing his amazing skills to TGI Justice!
