“Prisoner support is not only a tool necessary to the success and survival of our movement; it is also the antithesis of the oppression and exploitation that we seek to abolish. This understanding of our work as strengthening a movement for liberation differentiates us from the myriad reform and charity based groups.” – Earth First Journal
Some things everyone can do:
- Correspond with folks on the inside
- Organize a political prisoner support group or letter writing event
- Provide magazine subscriptions and books
- Donate commissary and monetary support
- Organize support demos & concerts
- Provide post-release support
