BK/NY – Tuesday, October 23rd – Come to a Green Scare(y) Halloween Card-Writing

WHAT: Political Prisoner Letter-Writing Dinner
WHEN: 7pm (sharp), Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012
WHERE: Tiny Cup, 279 Nostrand Avenue Brooklyn, New York (see below for directions) PLEASE NOTE THE NEW LOCATION
COST: Free

With grand jury resistance in the Pacific Northwest, blockades against the Keystone XL pipeline down in teXas, and the lesser known campaigns and projects across the country, anarchists have their hands full. The work that’s happening on these projects and others is in many ways inspiring. With that inspiration, there are plenty of reasons to become directly involved. It is in the spirit of direct involvement (and the magick of Halloween) that we host another Political Prisoner Letter-Writing Dinner. And what could be more ghoulish than the Green Scare?

Since the early 1980s, public relations hacks have been working to reify the term “eco-terrorism.” By 2004, they became successful and a phrase that a decade earlier had no real meaning was now defined by the United States government and used to introduce legislation. Now we have comrades serving decades for economic sabotage and allegations of thought crime. With several recent animal liberation actions, and Justin Solondz sentenced to seven years, it is clear that Earth and animal liberationists are both still active and still in the cross-hairs of the feds. Join us in letting them know they are not forgotten.

BK/NY – Tuesday, March 15th – Letter-Writing for Green Scare Prisoners

What: Political Prisoner Letter-Writing Dinner
When: 7pm (sharp), Tuesday, March 15th, 2011
Where: 885 Park Avenue, Brooklyn, New York (see below for directions)
Cost: Free

Because green is STILL the new red, for this week’s installment of PPLWD we will be sending out some cards to our continental eco-warriors behind bars…let’s let them know they are not forgotten! We will also be having breakfast for dinner…just ’cause we can. As always the food is vegan, because we believe in the liberation of all animals, human and non-human. (If you’ve been to one of these, then you know our spiel. If not, what the hell are you waiting for?) For more information on who we will be writing, or if you absolutely cannot make it (maybe you are allergic to waffle sandwiches?) please visit ecoprisoners.org, a great resource for up to date information on earth and animal liberation prisoners.

The deal, as always, is that you come bringing only yourself (and your friends and comrades), and we provide you with a delicious vegan meal, information about the prisoners as well as all of the letter-writing materials and prisoner-letter-writing info you could ever want to use in one evening. In return, you write a thoughtful letter to a political prisoner or prisoner of war of your choosing or, better yet, keep up a long-term correspondence. We’ll also provide some brief updates and pass around birthday cards for the PP/POWs whose birthdays fall in the next two weeks thanks to the Anarchist Birthday Brigade.
