Tear Down the Walls - Campaign For Solidarity And Support

Nightcrawlers Anarchist Black Cross (ABC) is a prisoner support group working in the New York/New Jersey area. We are initiating this campaign to build support for Political Prisoners, Prisoners Of War, and Prisoners of Social Conscience in the New Jersey prison system who are not currently being supported.

There are revolutionaries locked down in prisons across the country who have struggled to change our society and continue to do so from behind the walls. Because of their continued activity, many of these dedicated fighters are placed in control units, prisons within prisons. Most of these prisoners have been abandoned in captivity and receive little or no support or communication with the rest of their communities. We cannot allow the state to silence them.

Prisoners need our solidarity and material aid to keep their struggles alive. Without our aid it is difficult for prisoners to have many of their basic needs met. Providing them with food packages, stamps and reading materials is part of the support they need. The other aspect is communication, via correspondence and visiting. This type of support is crucial to ending their isolation, and in maintaining a flow of information about what is being organized on the inside, and on the outside. To make real change, everyone must be involved. In the words of New Afrikan Prisoner of War Ojore N. Lutalo, "Any movement that does not support its captured combatants is a sham movement."

There are a lot of prisoners who need solidarity and support. There are many simple things you can do to aid prisoners and build the prisoner support movement. For more information, please fill out the form below, and return it to Nightcrawlers. Thank You.
