Albert Woodfox has spent the last 34 years in a 6’x 9’ cell. This is
solitary confinement in Angola Prison, Louisiana. Albert is one of the
Angola 3, along with Herman Wallace and Robert King. These 3 men have
survived immeasurable tragedies of injustice because of their political
beliefs and ability to organize from behind bars. Despite having his
conviction overturned by a Federal Judge this past year, Albert remains in
solitary. The Attorney General of Louisiana is ‘taking it personally’
pursuing a vicious vendetta against Albert, wasting hundreds of thousands
of tax payers dollars and time.


Awareness Birthday Party & Cake contest
For Albert Woodfox’s birthday we are asking Angola 3 Supporters around the
world to build awareness and broaden coalitions on Thursday February 19th,
Albert Woodfox’s 34th birthday in solitary confinement. Consider it a
party excuse to end the abuse. Ultimately, it will provide an opportunity
to bring people together, cultivate awareness, and show Albert Woodfox
that despite being in solitary confinement at Angola, he is never alone.
Angola 3 Action is hosting a creative cake contest judged by Herman,
Albert & Robert. The maker of the most creative cake will win some Angola
3 tshirts and bags.

aWEARness
The 19th will also be the first of the 36 Thursdays solidarity t-shirt
action. In an effort to cultivate aWEARness, A3a is asking supporters to
wear their “I am Herman Wallace or I am Albert Woodfox” T-shirts for the
next 36 consecutive Thursdays. Sign up here:
