Support the Freedom of the Press – The Fight Goes On

Empowerment Avenue

Oakland, CA, United States

Empowerment Avenue is an organization that bridges the gap between writers and artists in prisons and mainstream venues to amplify the voice of those in prisons, support their "pre-entry" through professional development before an individual is released from prison, and ultimately harness this creative expression as a path toward decarceration and public safety.
