DESCRIPTION:The Direct Action Monterey Network runs a prisoner letter writing group as

 Support Letter Writing Group\n\nWHERE: Old Capitol Books, 559 Tyler Street, 
 Monterey, CA 93940\n\nWHEN: Third Sunday of each month, 
 6-7pm\n\n___________________________________\n*About the ABC: Since the 
 beginning of the Twentieth Century, the Anarchist Black Cross (ABC), has 
 been on the frontline in supporting those imprisoned for struggling for 
 freedom and liberty. Until recently, the history of the ABC movement has 
 been lost to the pages of time. The present generation of ABC collectives 
 were left rootless with little known information about this organization. 
 Now, specific questions regarding our origin can now be put to rest. We 
 have now begun to rediscover our roots. \n\n*How does the ABC support 
 Political Prisoners? Making sure PP/POWs are a part of their own support is 
 crucial and one of the greatest strengths of the Federation. We directly 
 communicate with as many PP/POWs as we can. A large part of this 
 communication is working together with them to find out what they need and 
 how then we can practically provide this support. The Federation’s 
 Prisoners’ Committee (PC), made up of 5 PP/POWs who have shown interest 
 in our work and helping it grow, serves on the ABCF’s Federation Council. 
 Members of the Prisoners’ Committee rotate yearly. The ABCF also works to 
 build alliances with the communities and the movements the prisoners 
 participated in prior to their incarceration. Through these alliances, we 
 work toward increasing the awareness about various liberation movements and 
 the political prisoners associated with the movements. It is through these 
 coalitions that we continue to ensure that imprisoned comrades are not 
 forgotten by their movements or our own. \n\n*How will Monterey be 
 involved? The Direct Action Monterey Network will is organizing a monthly 
 letter writing session for political prisoners, with an emphasis on 
 political prisoners in California’s jails and prisons. These letter 
 writing groups will be held on the third Sunday of each month at 8pm.\n
