And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him that it is right. --Martin Luther King Jr.

 

"When bad men combine, the good must associate, lest they fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptuous struggle." Edmund Burke

Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to write in a letter/card to prisoners so here are a few ideas

- talk about recent demos, leafleting

- encourage and support

- talk about your companion animals

- funny stories

Prisoner Support

There are currently 8 prisoners in the Uk and 3 on remand. Remember this is a very small number when you consider there are thousands of active animal rights campaigners in the UK. There are 73 activists on bail. Please send cards/ letters of support to these activists who have given up their freedom to save animals. (do not write anything incriminating, letters are read by prison officers)

Dealing with Arrest and Prison

 

In the current political climate all the movements seeking to change something which the government doesn't like, are under increasing pressure and having human rights squashed (such as peaceful demonstration, freedom to give out information, which includes stalls and having websites)
