We are joining forces with our friends at New Hour for Women and Children to write letters to people in prison and jail on the April 11th 7pm.We also have all the supplies you need to write a letter- pads of paper, pens, envelopes and stamps.
Why write letters to people in prison.
The United States is unparalleled historically and ranks among the highest worldwide in its dependence on incarceration. (Over 2 million people in state and federal prisons and jails). Over five million people in total are under supervision by the criminal legal system. Of these, nearly two million people, disproportionately Black people, are living in prisons and jails instead of their communities. People in prison are people from our communities and deserve support, consideration and communication with the outside world.
This event is free.

Parking is either behind the store in our well-lit parking lot or at the LIRR parking lot across the street.
This event is co-sponsored by New Hour for Women and Children.
New Hour for Women and Children was founded to provide meaningful support to current and formerly incarcerated women, their children and families. We build community to promote successful re-entry and lasting reintegration, and to reform unjust criminal justice system policies. We empower directly impacted people to utilize their lived experiences to create lasting reforms to the carceral system.
