SARASOTA PRISONER OUTREACH PROJECT
Sarasota Prisoner Outreach Project works with inmates in Florida State prisons who are expected to return to Sarasota County. Our mission is to ease the suffering of these people while incarcerated. We do this by companioning them through email correspondence (using a pseudonym), providing S-POP written newsletters about matters of direct interest to incarcerated persons, and by advocating on their behalf when they are in physical danger and/or not getting adequate medical care or nutrition (which happens a lot).

School systems around the nation are seeing the need for a greater understanding of—and deliberate action to address—the sources of racism and racial inequities within their schools. They are making bold institutional commitments to an in-depth review of their policies and procedures, and investing in anti-racism education for students, teachers, administrators, and staff for the long run. In Sarasota, recurring tensions around race and persistent racial inequality indicate that the district needs to join these school systems around the nation.
