Join Black Alliance for Peace-NYC/NJ for a teach-in on Black August and more!

“This Black August, we honor the legacy of prison rebellions and revolutionary love by standing with incarcerated women at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility—a site of brutal repression and unbreakable resistance.

Join us to write letters to women inside, including Reverend Joy Powell, a Black faith leader imprisoned for fighting police terror. With our words, we can break isolation and amplify their struggles against incarceration and gendered violence.”

The event will include:
- A teach-in on Black August, political prisoner Reverend Joy Powell, and Bedford Hills Correctional Facility
- Writing guide: How to send letters safely
-Templates & addresses: Including Rev. Joy Powell
