January 22, 2017 will be the SECOND annual Trans Prisoner Day of Action: an international day of action in solidarity with trans prisoners.
More info @ International Day of Trans Prisoner Solidarity / www.transprisoners.net

In Philly we will be holding space for a letting writing night/event jawn, centered on trans prisoners in PA. Information about specific prisoners, and their struggles inside, will be provided by Hearts on a Wire. Everyone should totally check out Hearts and read their newsletter, made by and for trans prisoners.
*Art materials and postage will also be provided.*
Please come though and:

– Send a letter/art to someone (it is lonely and any letter/art is appreciated)
– Learn about a specific trans person on the inside.
– Start a new pen pal relationship, checking in with yourself truthfully and honesty on your capacity to commit to that.
– Write another letter to an existing pen pal you have.
– Talk with others about your experience supporting trans people on the inside.
– Meet other people and talk about projects we’re involved in.

Email event organizers to get involved or suggest materials/zines to share:

“Anyone can host an event. It can be big or small and take any format you choose. We’ll support you and help with promotion, resources and other assistance you might need.
