We'll be having not one, but TWO events that day. We hope to see you at one or both:

Baltimore Bookfair,
Mt. Vernon Place,centered on 600 North Charles St, Baltimore MD
China Martens and Vikki Law joined by local contributors Sine Hwang Jensen, Monalisa Lennon Diallo a.k.a. Oluko Lumumba, and Harriet Moon Smith
Don’t Leave Your Friends Behind:
Concrete Ways to Support Families in Social Justice
Movements and Communities
Years in the making, this volume of essays and interviews edited by Baltimore’s very own hip mama, China Martens, author of The Future Generation, and NYC prisoner-justice organizer Victoria Law asks tough questions about what happens to parents when radical and social movements don’t make space for families. The Baltimore launch event for this hotly anticipated, deeply moving title!
