Pocket Primers are 4x6 inch pamphlets with thirty questions and answers, each answer about 250 words.  They can be useful to classrooms, families or community organizations that wish to better understand and discuss the issues of violence, racism and poverty.  The thirty question and answer format will allow the primer to be utilized on a daily basis for the period of a month, discussing one question and answer daily.  

Each will be English-Spanish Bilingual.  Each will be developed through a series of meetings with classes and other organizations to discuss both relevant questions and answers.  Each can be accompanied by an hour long power point presentation of the thirty questions and answers.
