Dec. 2-4: A weekend for political prisoners

WHERE THERE IS INJUSTICE, THERE IS RESISTANCE.
WHERE THERE IS RESISTANCE, THERE IS REPRESSION.
WHERE THERE IS REPRESSION, THERE ARE POLITICAL PRISONERS.
WHERE POLITICAL PRISONERS ARE REMEMBERED AND SUPPORTED, THERE IS CONTINUITY OF RESISTANCE.

U.S. Political Prisoner Holiday Card Writing Party

309 Park Place,
(bt. Vanderbilt & Underhill, Prospect Heights, Bklyn)
(2,3,4,5 trains to Grand Army Plaza; B train to Seventh Ave)

Join Resistance in Brooklyn for our annual event to remind the many U.S. political prisoners -- Black/New Afrikan, Puerto Rican, Native American, Chicano/Mexican, Cuban, and white North American -- that we remember and care about them. No artistic ability required (though everyone has some!).

This is always a fun event, sharing good food and great conversation while making and signing beautiful handmade cards. These cards mean alot to folks who have sacrificed so much for the struggle for liberation.

Art materials, paints, stamps, envelopes, and refreshments will be provided.
Donations requested for stamps.

Info: (718) 399-8366 or mmmsrnb @ igc.org
