From now until June 28, an author of the new book "Fifteen Cents on the Dollar" is donating the full proceeds of books purchased on this Eventbrite to the <a href="https://prisonjournalismproject.org/" title="https://prisonjournalismproject.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Prison Journalism Project (PJP),</a> a non-profit organization that trains people in prison in journalism skills. The book, to be published by HarperCollins, is a comprehensive look at the Black-white wealth gap and includes a chapter focused on the financial toll of the justice system. People in prison incur major fees and fines and often have debt mounting while they are in the system. When they are released, it is challenging to get a job. PJP is an organization that helps people in the system emerge with better job prospects, due to the training and experience they receive working with PJP."Fifteen Cents on the Dollar" has received glowing early reviews.

Fifteen Cents on the Dollar is an unforgettable look into how the racial wealth divide impacts families, our economy and our society as a whole. This pivotal work is a must-read for those hoping to understand how today's inequalities are the result of a system built on a legacy of oppression."Please note: This is not an event.
