[IMC] Political Prisoners' Birthdays in June W/ Attachment

[ppbirthday at riseup.net]

Hello Friends and Comrades,

Here is the political prisoner birthday poster for June. As always, please
post this poster publicly and/or use it to start a card writing night of
your own.

We have a lot of updates this month.

First, we are losing our space. This is a moment of crisis for us and
we're asking for those of y'all who are able to help us with this
transition.

The second anniversary of the international day of solidarity with Marie
Mason, Eric McDavid, and other longterm anarchist prisoners is nearly upon
us! To list your event, find a nearby event or to find out how you can
support Marie Mason and Eric McDavid see http://june11.org/.

Over the past month, the FBI has initiated a spate of entrapment
operations designed to frame anarchists as “terrorists.” Significantly,
they have not targeted longtime organizers, but rather people who are
relatively peripheral to anarchist communities. There is an excellent
article discussing this here:

Latest reports state that the Virginia Prison Hunger Strike is still going
strong. Please spread the word about it. You can find out what you can do
to support it here: http://virginiaprisonstrike.blogspot.com/

We got this info late, but please add Russell Kilfoil to your birthday lists.
Russell Kilfoil
Piedmont Regional Jail
PO Drawer 388
Farmville VA, 23901

Russell Kilfoil, or King Peaceful, is a member of the NC Almighty Latin
King and Queen Nation, and along with other members is facing federal
racketeering (RICO) charges. The NC ALKQN is a street organization
dedicated to community & self-determination and defense, black & brown
unity and alliance with white anti-racist organizations, and have done
work with different coalitions in North Carolina around gang truces,
policing, immigration and prisons. A legal defense coalition is supporting
6 members, including Kilfoil, as political prisoners this RICO indictment
is clearly politically motivated, targeting the ALKQN for their community
organizing. Kilfoil and the others are being held without bail pending
trial. http://alkqnsupport.com.

Lastly, here is a link to the Political Prisoner/Prisoner Of War
every-other week update by the NYC-Anarchist Black Cross. There are lots
of good updates on many political prisoners.
