Free the Dream$ Magazine
In 2020, Liberation Library began working closely with The Final 5 Campaign. Out of that collaboration came the Free The Dream$, a magazine that’s created by and for young people inside. Free the Dream$ offers a platform for impacted young people to share their visions, reflections, & artwork and access content of their choosing. Our magazine programming engages young people inside to disrupt isolation & censorship and encourage imagination, self-determination, and bridging connections with each other. |

Free the Dream$ covers everything from current events to wellness advice to how to open a bank account.
The magazine and its contents are driven by our inside editorial committee which is comprised of directly impacted young people who are compensated to participate in bi-weekly virtual meetings, as well as our programming leads who are both formerly incarcerated abolitionists. LibLib is thrilled to be able to support in-person programming associated with the release of each magazine issue at all five youth prisons & several county jails. During these inside visits, we meet with every young person, distribute copies of the magazine, deliver books & book order forms, bring snacks & drinks to celebrate this shared achievement, and discuss & practice our abolitionist values together. |
