**RSVP closes on April 3rd**

We're hosting our THIRD annual Eid Letter Writing webinar on Sunday, April 10th, 2022, from 2-4pm EST!

Each year, tens of thousands of Muslims in the U.S. spend Eid behind bars. Incarceration is designed to be isolating, and that experience can be intensified during holidays. This Ramadan, join us to write Eid letters to extend community care and solidarity to people who are incarcerated in Ohio and across the country, and to learn more about the prison-industrial complex and paths to ending it.

⇨ If you know a Muslim in local jail, state or federal prison, immigration detention, or a juvenile facility, you can request a letter for them by filling out this form: https://tinyurl.com/requestELIM. Requests must be received by March 20th, 2022 at midnight EST to be considered ⇦

WEBINAR DETAILS

In order to participate in letter-writing, please ensure you have the following supplies:

• An envelope

• A stamp

• Blank, flat paper (it can be lined or unlined, but cannot be a card)

• A black pen (many facilities do not allow writing in pencil, marker, or other colors of ink)

• There may also be the opportunity to write more than one letter, so if you can, make sure you have multiple of these supplies.

Notes:

• This webinar is led by Muslims and, as it is rooted in a community and faith tradition, the participation of Muslims is prioritized, but allies are welcome dependent on space.
• After you submit this RSVP, you will receive a Zoom link in your email inbox.
