Letters from the Etui is a digital platform featuring an animated video series, letters, and an accompanying series of workshops that support abolitionist frameworks, from personal to political practice. An etui–from the Old French estui, meaning prison–is a small ornamental case used for holding needles, cosmetics, and often other sacred possessions like personal letters. Here, letters serve to connect students to each other across the walls of the prison system, they connect resistance struggles around the world, and they connect us as citizens and activists to a world oriented towards abolition.

The art on the flyers are from the animated video series created by students at Cal State LA and Lancaster State Prison!

"I am a musician and author who received a sentence of Life Without the Possibility of Parole at the age of 17. After 19 years, because of juvenile justice reforms (namely Senate Bill 9), a court resentenced me to 25-to-life, and in 2019, a parole board found me suitable for parole. After 22 years of incarceration, I am free and grateful for a chance to make amends for the pain I caused so many.
The poems I’m sharing are part of a larger project that seeks to identify the complexities of trauma through an allegorical lens, with the ultimate goal being finding paths of understanding, healing, and personal growth amidst the chaos and decay of isolation and shame and other negative forces."
“REST IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT” —@thenapministry
The Nap Ministry is an organization dedicated to examining “the liberating power of naps” under the belief that “rest is a form of resistance and reparations.”
Pictured is @jailbeddrop ’s own Space of Rest for our installation with @solacontemporary , and is rooted in the same intentions. For other resources on the relationship between rest and healing:

Pause. Lay out for a bit when you can :)✨
How do you hold yourself accountable? Is rooting accountability in punishment the standard by which you grow and learn? How do you care for yourself?
