Political Prisoner Birthday Poster for September

From Prison Books Collective:

Hello Friends and Comrades,

  1. Here is the political prisoner birthday poster for September.(11″x17″ PDF, 359 KB) Print it out and plaster your community, both in commemoration of these freedom fighters and to advertise locally for a political prisoner letter writing night.Get together with some friends in your town to send birthday cards to these fighters in our struggle. It’s an easy way to help remind them that they aren’t forgotten. If you make one, remember—don’t use anything like white-out, stickers, tape or glitter on it. We also recommend that you put a return name and address and their name and prisoner number on the card, lest the authorities “lose” the envelope and forget where it is going. If you would like to add a birthday or sign up for our poster mailing list (not a listserv, one email per month), or if you would like to contribute in another way to increasing the profile of US political prisoners, email us at [email protected].
  2. A special thank you to the designers of this month’s poster. Designers are constantly bombarded with requests to work their trade for free, for publicity, or for a cause, and every month the PPBD Posters project relies on their generosity of time, skill and devotion to the cause of prison abolition. Cheers to Patrick St. John for putting this month’s rad poster together.
  3. The September 9th Prison Strike is less than two weeks away. There are events popping off all over the United $nakes and internationally. Check the Support Prisoner Resistance website, especially the regional sidebars to plug in if you haven’t been working steadily on this historic moment thus far. It is not too late to make your mark and act against slavery in coordination with prison rebels all over the planet. Whether it is something small done with friends to promote the day or something dramatic involving hundreds on the day of the strike, every act of resistance to this prison society is amplified when we work together.
  4. On September 4th, If you live in NYC, LA, or Denver, consider donating and/or running in the annual Anarchist Black Cross Federation Running Down the Walls 5k! Do you live elsewhere? Or are you busy that day? Check this Fedbook page for other area Running Down the Walls 5Ks in your area. Buffalo NY also has a run that day. A week later, so do Minneapolis/St Paul MN, Chico CA, Seattle, Middletown CT, Lake Worth FL, and Turners Falls MA. Build up your stamina while building the ABCF’s warchest.
  5. Do you need help advertising for your local Political Prisoner Letter Writing Night? Are you interested in distributing physical copies of the poster? Write to us and let’s find a way to get physical copies of our poster to you: [email protected]
  6. Be sure to check out the latest Political Prisoner/Prisoner Of War every-other week update (PDF, <400 KB) by the NYC-Anarchist Black Cross. There are lots of important updates on many political prisoners. This one includes updates on Eric King’s new address, Ramona Africa, Marius Mason, and more.
