This December London ABC wants to launch a special prisoner letter-writing: virtual, but with the same aim. Send some warmth and complicity, towards a world without cages or barriers.

Solidarity cards made during linoprinting with ABC 2019/2020

To write a letter just send an email with the content to london_abc@riseup.net with the number of the solidarity card of your choice (between 1,2,3 above). Include the name of the prisoner you would like send the letter to (choose from prisoner list, or the name and the address of someone you know is inside, if not in the list) and the address you want to the reply sent back to, or you can use this address: Freedom Bookshop, Angel Alley, 84b Whitechapel High Street, London, E1 7QX. And we’ve done, you done, ABC will provide next day delivery.

When you write us the email with the content*(that will remain strictly confidential between few people from ABC London group), don’t forget your name or pseudonym, so we can recognise you in case the person inside writes back to the Freedom Bookshop address.

*content. If it’s a problem for you to share your thoughts, no worries, we understand. But we still encourage you to write: pick a name from the list and do so in your own pace and means.

If it’s the first time for you writing a letter to an inmate have a look here.

All around the world people are getting locked up because of their political or social struggles. Those people in many cases are left alone inside of the prison system that tries to crush them with all the power it has. However writing letters to the prisoners might be one of those small straws that will be able to pull the person out of the repressive apparatus of the state. We urge you to write letters to prisoners to help them survive hardships of prison! This video is a result of collaborative work between Anarchist Black Cross Dresden and Anarchist Black Cross Umeå groups. It was created as a mobilization for the 2020 Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners (23-30 August)
