Partner Event: Uniting Across Borders - Write to Political Prisoners in Russia

  • This event has passed.
Thursday, March 14, 2024
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Join us to write letters to political prisoners in Russia who are detained for protesting the war in Ukraine. This prisoner support strives to build and preserve democracy. Prisoners receiving letters experience better treatment because guards know that the prisoners aren’t alone. This event represents unity across borders, nationalities, civil society, faith institutions, and the arts to support prisoners of conscience and to stand up against injustice.

The letters are sent electronically to a secure portal in Russia, and prisoners are able to write back. Reply letters are translated and returned to the original ‘pen pal’ writers.

There is no fee, materials are provided, Russian language skills are not needed, and all are welcome. Registration is not required.

Over 20,000 political dissidents are imprisoned in Russia for protesting the war in Ukraine. Let them know they aren’t alone.

This event is co-sponsored with World Without Genocide. Visit worldwithoutgenocide.org/lettersGAI or contact info@worldwithoutgenocide.org for more information.
