Make Valentines for Political Prisoners
Submitted by clarissa on Mon, 2010-02-01 22:19
Each year we gather together to make Valentines for US political prisoners. This is a great way to celebrate Valentines Day- sending love to folks who've been in prison for years due to their political involvement. We need to make sure they know we haven't forgotten them!
Folks we send cards to are from the Black panthers, Black liberation movement, MOVE, Puerto Rican independence movement, eco-activists, and other anti-imperialist activists.
