This month we continue our first-Sunday-of-every-month get together at Firestorm at 5pm EST to write letters to prisoners. We’ll have addresses for political prisoners in the U.S. and will provide paper, pens, envelopes and postage. Come out and meet BR(A)BC members and reach out to those behind bars with us! Prisoners with birthdays we’ll be…
The 13th Amendment of the US Constitution still allows slavery, creating an increasing population of caged people who provide free or near-free labor to stockholders of the Prison Industrial Complex and profiteers of mass incarceration. As a result, American jobs are lost and job-seekers are victimized because private industry cannot compete with involuntary servitude.
Therefore, citizens of Asheville North Carolina invite you to a Solidarity Rally with Millions for Prisoners Human Rights March on Washington DC. There, we will peacefully assemble to let Congress know, it is time to end slavery once and for all, delete the exception clause in the 13th Amendment authorizing prison slavery, and stop profiteering in its tracks – because all workers deserve living wages. All Asheville and Buncombe County residents are invited–especially our elected representatives and those running for office this election season. Voters, your constituents, want to know where you stand on this matter.
When: August 19th at 11:30 AM
Where: Pack Square Park (In front of City Hall)
This event is organized by Asheville Black Lives Matter, Blue Ridge Anarchist Black Cross (BRABC), and Zamani Refuge African Cultural Center, with more endorsements forthcoming.

Dane Powell, first political prisoner of the Trump Regime. Dane is a father, a vet, a water protector, and is serving 2 years for participating in the January 20th anti-inauguration protests in Washington D.C.
