ABOUT
After conversations with the late and great Nehanda Abiodun coupled with the unsettling and unceasing loss of Black lives at the hands of police, we decided to look to our past. Black Panthers and members of the Republic of New Afrika fought tirelessly for Black freedom, and many pay the cost by serving lengthy and unjust sentences.
Researching these leaders and writing letters to show your support is one way to honor their sacrifice. We've consolidated names, support sites, mailing addresses of 15+ political prisoners. Click the button below to get active, keep scrolling to learn more.

WHY LETTERS?
Letters can be a lifeline to incarcerated individuals. The people on our list lost their physical freedom fighting for the freedom of us all. Let them know that we see them, appreciate them, and want to strengthen our relationships.
They’re inside there for us and we are outside for them.
Start by reading our guidelines, then going to our list of political prisoners. After reading the tips and guidelines and choosing whom you will write to, begin writing. Make sure your letter follows the rules of the prison. Finally, mail the letter! Afterward, navigate to our tracking tab to let us know whom you wrote to.
