Political Prisoners' Birthdays in June

Send a birthday card for these political prisoners. It's an easy way to help remind these freedom fighters they aren't forgotten. If you make one, remember- don't use anything like white-out, stickers, tape or glitter on it. We also recommend that you put your name and address and their name and prisoner number on the card, lest the authorities "lose" the envelope and forget where it is going. If you would like to add a birthday, email us at ppbirthday@riseup.net. Brought to you with love by the Chapel Hill Prison Books Collective.

More info coming soon!
