Both events are actually free, but we ask that you donate $50/$10, respectively, for VIP Reception with Angela Davis and/or Presentation & Discussion with her following. And part (about 1/3) of the proceeds from the sale of The New Jim Crow will go to A New Way of Life Reentry Project.
A New of Life Reentry Project's executive director had talked with Angela Davis during her visit to Orange County for 2009 presidential fundraising about the possibility of the former black panther's fundraising for A New Way of Life Reentry Project, and she agreed. So here it is.
As for Michelle Alexander, my executive director (and the executive director of WLCAC) liked her book so much that they invited her to come out to do a book signing event.

Hey Josh :) Thanks for inviting me to this fundraiser. I'm sorry I will not be able to make it. I hope you're doing well and I'm going to follow you now (on blogspot.. not in life. hahaha).
