    BREAKING: New Jersey has announced they are lifting their ban on the book "The New Jim Crow" after our huge push today. They will also revisit their broken policies on banning books. Thank you all for your work and push on this today. GOOD WORK.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/950338320193769472 …

    BREAKING: New Jersey prisons have now banned "The New Jim Crow." This is a gross overreach of their power. @ACLUNJ is challenging the ban as not only unconstitutional, but a violation of prison policy. https://theintercept.com/2018/01/08/new-jim-crow-ban-prisons-nj-new-jersey-aclu/ …

        Can the crowd also start pushing NY on their insane new profit-driven eradication of books and fresh produce? https://www.buzzfeed.com/mikehayes/ny-prison-books-and-fresh-food-limits?utm_term=.jheOYq3m3 …

        FYI, the Human Rights Defense Center @HRDC_PLN has been fighting such bans for decades. They also worked for prison phone justice. Great work, everyone!

        If I had to guess which state was banning books, NJ would not be in the top 45.

        Bought the book today and started reading, to long I ignored the title. I hope others are inclined to make the purchase, read it and then buy another copy for someone else to enjoy. Just because you’re awake doesn’t mean you are Woke. Thank you Michelle.

        Yes!!!!! This book was a game changer for me! I’m not shocked they tried to ban it though. Too much necessary and valuable information. So glad the ban was lifted!

        ‘The anew Jim Crow’ is such an important book. Why would anyone ban it? It should be read by everyone and taught in schools. My 74 year old Aunt made me read it.
