Wanna do direct action but you can’t run, can’t fight, can’t deal with stress, can’t risk getting arrested? Not near a community to support? You can still do something.
Like write to prisoners.
Prisons try to disappear people, isolate them, crush them. Don’t let that happen.
Write to activists in prison, write to trans people in prison, write to isolated prisoners, write to prisoners who no one else thinks are worth writing to.
Write to prisoners.
I like this idea. how do I start?
Writing to someone in your own country tends to be most effective, since international postage can be slow and expensive.
A prison support group can provide you with names of prisoners that would like to receive letters and with ‘do’s and don’t’ on writing to prisoners.
I just wrote this post detailing some websites for UK based writers: http://queeranarchism.tumblr.com/post/174969729288/wanna-do-direct-action-but-you-cant-run-cant
Wherever you are, chances are there is at least one prisoner support group in your country too. It’d be cool if you could search for them yourself and share the results, but if that doesn’t work I’ll try to do some of that work for you (if you want to share what country you’re in with me).
