New Year’s Eve Noise Demonstrations Outside of Prisons and Jails Across So-Called North America
From Prison Books: Let’s
help 2017 go in like a lion with this year’s New Year’s Eve Noise
Demonstrations. In the words of comrades in Montreal: “Prisons were
created to isolate people from their communities. Noise demonstrations
at prisons are a material way to fight against repression and isolation.We want to extend a message of solidarity to folks inside, and wish
them a happy new year. Although, a truly happy new year would be one
without prisons and the world that needs them.” Here’s a list of events
