Black August: Letter Writing to Honor Revolutionary Prisoner’s Movement

Black August: Letter Writing to Honor Revolutionary Prisoner’s Movement
Sunday 8/10: Easy Side Freedom Library (1105 Greenbrier St, St Paul) at 3:00 p.m.

We’re hosting letter writing to political prisoners at the East Side Freedom Library!

Join the Party for Socialism and Liberation in commemorating Black August! We’re rolling out a series of events this month to honor the revolutionary prisoner’s movement borne out of the Black Liberation struggle in the ‘60s and ‘70s.

We’ll also discuss some of the history of mass incarceration and political prisoners in the United States, as well as the fightback that has endured across generations.

Black August is honored every year to commemorate the fallen freedom fighters of the Black Liberation Movement, to call for the release of political prisoners in the United States, to condemn the oppressive conditions of U.S. prisons, and to emphasize the continued importance of the Black Liberation struggle. In short, the principles of Black August are: “study, fast, train, fight.”
