Ami Joelle Glazer

Ami Joelle Glazer will create a short documentary on the practice of jail support with Goldenrod Community, a Black-led organization run by formerly incarcerated individuals that provides resources, emotional support, and rides to those released from prison on State Road. Ami's video will serve as a resource for folks to learn about jail support as a vital form of mutual aid and a backbone of the abolitionist movement.

Ami Joelle Glazer will be working in collaboration with Youth Art and Self-Empowerment Project (YASP) to create a 7-part video series on youth incarceration in Pennsylvania. YASP is a member of Care, not Control (C,NC), a coalition of young people and youth advocates working to end youth incarceration so each episode will be centered around one of C,NC's seven core demands for ending youth incarceration in PA. Focused on the experiences of formerly incarcerated youth, as well as information on the historical and political contexts of youth incarceration in PA, the series will amplify YASP's mission and illustrate the detrimental effects of youth incarceration through data and personal testimony.
