Holiday Cards for People Inside

Join the Prison Abolition Group this Thursday night at the Hive as we show support to our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters who are currently incarcerated. We will have postcards to fill out and color in provided by Black & Pink (http://www.blackandpink.org/holiday/) as well as a number of delicious treats and drinks!

“As you can imagine, the holiday season is often a really rough time for folks inside prison. Whatever holidays you may or may not celebrate this time of year, incarcerated folks are often denied the ability to celebrate their traditions in the ways they choose, whether their desire be to celebrate the returning of light for Solstice, the miracle of Hanukkah, the birth story of Jesus, the Black radical tradition of Kwanzaa, New Year’s Day, or something else. All too often they do not have family and friends to reach out to them with cards or visits, making this time particularly isolating. The cards you will make bring moments of joy, connection and kindness to our brothers and sisters inside while telling prison staff that people on the outside are watching.”

Please join us this Thursday night!
