Political Prisoner Birthday Poster For August 2016
Hello Friends and Comrades,
- Here is the political prisoner birthday poster for August.(11"x17" PDF, 2MB) Print it out and plaster your community, both in commemoration of these freedom fighters and to advertise locally for a political prisoner letter writing night. Get together with some friends in your town to send birthday cards to these fighters in our struggle. It’s an easy way to help remind them that 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 a return 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 or sign up for our poster mailing list (not a listserv, one email per month), or if you would like to contribute in another way to increasing the profile of US political prisoners, email us at ppbirthday@riseup.net.
- A special thank you to the designers of this month's poster. Designers are constantly bombarded with requests to work their trade for free, for publicity, or for a cause, and every month the PPBD Posters project relies on their generosity of time, skill and devotion to the cause of prison abolition. Cheers to Dylan for putting this month's rad poster together.
- Do you need help advertising for your local Political Prisoner Letter Writing Night? Are you interested in distributing physical copies of the poster? Write to us and let's find a way to get physical copies of our poster to you: ppbirthday@riseup.net
- Political Prisoner Chelsea Manning is having a hard month. Please take some time out of your day to do something nice for her. Talk about her case with someone who has never heard of her before, learn more about her case, and if you have the time to write her a letter or a little extra to spend, please consider sending it her way.
- Luke O'Donovan has been released! See his support website to help him with what he needs now that he is free.
- September 9th is right around the corner, but there's still time to get organized in your community to prepare for prison strike and rowdy solidarity demonstrations.
Remember: They are in there for us, we are out here for them!

UPDATE TO ERIC KING'S ADDRESS:
Eric was transferred to the Grady County Jail in Chickasha, Oklahoma. He will stay at the jail while the BOP prepares to transfer him to his designated facility, typically 1-4 weeks. Please note that his number has temporarily changed while he’s in this county jail, but he will get his old number back when he’s transferred to a federal facility.
