빅토리아 로는 미국의 무정부주의 운동가, 교도소 폐지론자, 작가, 프리랜서 편집자, 사진작가 등으로 잘 알려져 있다. 그녀의 책은 저항군이다. 투옥된 여성의 투쟁(2009, 2012), 친구를 두고 떠나지 말라: 사회 정의 운동 및 지역사회의 가족을 지원하는 구체적인 방법(China Martens, 2012년 개정), 다른 이름으로 감옥: 대중개혁의 해로운 결과 (Maya Scenwar, 2020년 공동저자)와 감옥은 우리를 더 안전하게 만든다: 그리고 대량 투옥에 대한 20개의 다른 신화들(2021년).

배경과 교육

빅토리아 로는 중국계이며 뉴욕 퀸즈에서 태어나 자랐다. 고교시절 A양은 차이나타운 조직폭력배에 가담하기 위해 무장강도 행각을 벌였으나 초범행위로 집행유예를 선고받았다.[1] 리커스 섬에 수감된 사람들에 대한 그녀의 노출은 그녀가 교도소 지원에 관여하도록 자극했다.[2][3]

경력

법률은 19세 때인 1996년 블랙아웃 북스와 나이트크로울러스의 공동 프로젝트로 뉴욕을 공동 설립하는 등 감옥 폐지를 위한 투쟁을 계속했다.[4] 이 프로젝트는 1997년 또는 1998년에 ABC 노 리오로 이전했다.[5][original research?] 2003년 오레곤의 한 교도소에 수감된 여성들의 권유로 그녀는 Zine Strusty: 감옥에 있는 여성들의 예술과 글쓰기.[6] 2009년, 미국에서 수감된 여성들에 대해 10년간 연구하고 글을 쓴 후, 법률은 PM 출판사와 함께 그녀의 첫 번째 모노그래프를 출판했다. 투옥된 여성의 투쟁, 2012년에 두 번째 판이 발매되었다.[7] 그녀는 자주 초청 연사로 활동하고 있는데, 특히 감옥 뒤의 저항군 초판을 발간한 이래 더욱 그러하다.[8]

Law works with Books Through Bars (now located at Freebird Bookstore[9] in Brooklyn). She has participated in many of ABC No Rio's projects, including its Visual Arts Collective and the darkroom that she co-founded and co-built. She has had tangential involvement in the punk collective, as well, and was the primary caregiver of art and activist space's last remaining squatter, Cookiepuss (1996–2013), a calico cat.[10]

In her twenties, after having a child, Law's activism began to include raising awareness of parents in anarchist communities' need for solidarity, including free childcare activities at events and protests. Together with long-time mamazine maker China Martens, Law began doing workshops and editing compilation zines about parenting for activists and their allies, called Don't Leave Your Friends Behind. The two eventually co-edited a book by the same name, also published by PM Press.[11] As her child got older and Law engaged with the literature her child read, Law began to focus attention on the lack of racial diversity in young adult fiction, including writing a series of blog posts on girls of color in dystopia for Bitch Media.[12]
