We believe reading is a fundamental human right.
We are a community-based project in Asbury Park, New Jersey working to empower individuals through literacy and access to materials.
We Are RAAR
Inspired by the movement for transformative justice and other tristate organizations like Books Through Bars and Books Behind Bars, RAAR needs your help in continuing these conversations locally.
Our country’s correctional, transitional, and social systems would benefit from supplemental programs that focus on the positive effects reading and access to books can have on our society. Through community outreach, donations from and collaborations with local bookstores and our neighbors, we seek to provide access to books for all, especially those groups which are systemically underserved.
