An appalachian sunset with the words "Political Prisoner Letter Writing | 5-7pm, Sunday Oct 3rd | West Asheville Park, 11 Vermont Ave"This month’s political prisoner letter writing event will be outdoors, socially distanced at the West Asheville park from 5-7pm on Sunday, October 3rd!  We’ll provide addresses of and info about political prisoners with upcoming birthdays or prison rebels currently facing repression in the so-called US. We’ll share stamps, envelopes and other stationary and are happy to help whether you are a novice letter writer or seasoned pro.

A letter to a prisoner can mean a new relationship, it shows the prison staff and other prisoners that outside eyes are on this person, a break from monotonous and/or harsh circumstances, an escape of the imagination.
