Summary
We have a special extra episode of Strangers this month. We have an interview with Henri Feola, talking about his zine The Veil Between Worlds is Plexiglass: notes from an incarcerated forest defender. If you want a copy of this zine, go to www.tangledwilderness.org.
About the Zine
On January 18, 2023, Atlanta police murdered Tortuguita, a protester defending the Weelaunee People’s Forest. Three days later, a vigil was held in downtown Atlanta, after which property destruction occurred and two police cars were set on fire. Myself and five others were arrested in the vicinity of the vigil. We all received the same set of charges, including domestic terrorism. All but one of us were denied bail and remained in pretrial detention. The state did not have to provide any evidence of our alleged crimes, or argue the facts of the case, in order to incarcerate us. The broken and overcrowded penal system in Atlanta forced us to wait months to appear in court again and argue for bail; many of our fellow inmates were in the same situation, waiting months or years for court appearances. I was released with a $25,000 bail and orders to leave the state of Georgia on April 26, after 96 days in jail.
This zine is a lightly edited collection of writing from my time in jail.
