Join Detroit Anarchist Black Cross and Food Not Class in making holiday cards for LGBTQ prisoners in the US. We’ll have the cards ready to be colored and written in – no need to have anything! Do feel free to bring your own art supplies, but know that some prisons have rules against crayon wax, glitter, glue, etc. so we highly recommend sticking to ink (pens, markers) and colored pencils. We also encourage those who are able to bring a little cash to help offset the costs of printing and postage.

About Solidarity with Rojava
People are being killed everyday in Rojava (the majority Kurdish region of Northeastern Syria).
This constant death and destruction is the result of Turkey unilaterally and illegally invading areas of North and Northeastern Syria. Turkey has unleashed tens of thousands of fundamentalist, Islamic extremist fighters pulled together from some of region’s most dangerous terrorist organizations in Syria – trained, armed, and paid for by Turkey with its plans for the ethnic cleansing of the Kurdish people from the areas of its operations who had been living peacefully for the first time in generations.
The Kurds have built a territory with direct democracy, feminism, and radical ecology as their foundation in one of the most war torn parts of the world. The people of Rojava are engaged in one of the most liberatory social projects of our time. Comrades in the West are encouraged to show solidarity for the revolution not only by raising awareness for Rojava but also by forming autonomous collectives to take action against authoritarianism and violent capitalism in our own backyards.
