Support Prison Rebels
As anarchists and autonomous anti-capitalists, we seek the destruction of the carceral State and the abolition of the systems of incarceration and policing. Towards that end, many individuals, organizations, and various formations put energy, time, and resources into supporting both prisoner revolt and organizing, and political prisoners of a variety of social movements.
Other groups flood facilities with revolutionary literature and reading materials, forming bonds with prisoners questioning the systems of control and domination all around them.
In order to provide a list of resources for these ongoing and developing struggles, we’ve launched this page, with links to groups organizing on the inside, political prisoners and how to support them, organizations on the outside mobilizing, multimedia resources, and much more.
