We held a Letter Writing event for Comrade Rene at Bluestockings Cooperative on Sunday, April 7th to send her much needed snail mail since her e-communications and commissary have been shut off for a month in retaliation for her raising concerns about the conditions inside the Aliceville Satellite Camp (federal penitentiary).
We want to express so much gratitude to Bluestockings Cooperative for hosting us, and to everyone who came through yesterday afternoon to write letters to our penpal and comrade who’s currently in federal prison for her activism and politics of solidarity. We want to give a special shoutout to Vikki Law and Maya Schenwar, authors of “Prison by Any Other Name”, for making time to write letters and learn more about Rene’s case! You can get the only signed copies of their book at Bluestockings!
You can read more about Rene’s case here, and also continue giving to her commissary fund so that she may purchase essentials.
