DESCRIPTION:oin HAVOQ's Prison Abolition & Prisoner Solidarity Workgroup for our 
 November monthly penpal night. We have letters from queer & trans prisoners 
 from around California who are looking for everything from personal to 
 political to romantic exchanges. Making a real life connection based in 
 friendship, support and solidarity with someone behind bars is one of the 
 most important ways to fight the prison and criminalization systems, which 
 is *designed* to isolate folks from their families and communities.\n\nThe 
 run-down:\n6-6:15, arrive, settle-in\n6:15-6:45, facilitated discussion 
 about current topics/issues affecting queers within the criminalization 
 system/prison industry (Nov - Yoga in Prisons project - presented by 
 Misia!)\n6:45-8, review penpal guidelines, find/write to your personal 
 penpal &/or make birthday cards for political prisoners &/or decorate 
 holiday cards for your penpal or folks on the Black & Pink list\n\nThere 
 will also be space to share from powerful, touching or difficult letters 
 you have already received. If you can, please bring some stamp money, a 
 snack or a friend!\n\nPlease invite friends, family, and other 
 organizations that you work with. We have so many letters that we can even 
 arrange to pass some along if you want to host your own letter writing 
 night or can't attend on Wednesdays.\n\n*** We'll check our PO Box a few 
 days before the event, so stay tuned to this page or join our 
 prisonabqueers googlegroup by emailing flyingoverwalls [at] gmail [dot] com 
 in order to be notified if we have received letters addressed to you and to 
 hear about other work we're doing!\n\nModern Times has zines, books and 
 resources available if you just want to come and learn something and they 
 can mail books to prisons if you get inspired.\n\n**EVERY 4th 
 WEDNESDAY**\n(11/28, 12/26, 1/23...save the dates and let us know if you 
 want to help facilitate the opening discussion for one of these dates!)\n
