Henri on "The Veil Between Worlds is Plexiglass"

Summary This week on Live Like the World is Dying, we have a cross posted episode from the Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness podcast because it was just very relevant to the themes on this show. We have an interview with Henri Feola, talking about the state repression, getting through being in jail, and his new zine "The Veil Between Worlds is Plexiglass: notes, doodles, and poems from an incarcerated forest defender." If you want a copy of this zine, head 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.
