UPDATE: The remaining Stop Cop City defendants that were held pre-trial have been released since we planned this event! With RDTW right around the corner, we’ll instead be writing to political prisoners who might want to write a statement or participate from the inside. Join us to strike up a correspondence with a new potential penpal or come to write to an existing penpal of your own! As always all the letter-writing supplies and light refreshments will be provided. [Read More]
