Prisoner support letter-writing night

Penpal | 08.08.2010 22:22

Bristol ABC's regular monthly public event
Welcome to Bristol ABC's monthly letter-writing night, where we aim to encourage people to send letters and cards of solidarity to political and other radicalised priosners, here and abroad.

This month we are moving location, and tonights session will be held at The Factory, 2-8 Cave Street, St Pauls, Bristol BS2 8RU. All those with a desire to support prisoners are welcome, bring some snacks to share.
Each month we produce a list of UK and international prisoners who welcome support from political supporters. At these letter-writing nights we encourage people toget in touch with these prisoners to express solidarity. This may be in the form of one-off short letters or postcards, or you may choose to develop a long term correspondence with the prisoner(s) - thats up to you. Prisoners really welcome contact with those of us on the outside, it breaks the dreary monotomy of their day and reminds them they are not forgotten. For those of us writing it can provide insights into the harshness of prison life, a greater understanding of our comrades inside, and the opportunity to do something basic and practical to support them.

We will provide the lists, paper, envelopes, and info about other ongoing prisoner & prison-related campaigns. You provide the letter-writing muscle, and if possible donations towards the costs of stamps.

Thanks
Bristol ABC
