We're hosting our FOURTH annual Eid Letter Writing webinar on Sunday, April 9th, 2022, from 2-4pm ET!

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.

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)

Notes:

  • In previous years, we wrote to men, women, and young people, but for this year's event we will only be writing to women.
  • 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.
