[PDF – 10-25-23 Write to Political Prisoners – Uniting for Democracy title.pdf]
Join World Without Genocide on Thursday, October 26 at Mount Zion Temple for Write to Political Prisoners – Uniting for Democracy.
More than 600 people are imprisoned in Russia for protesting Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
The public is invited to write letters to prisoners detained in Russia. These letters maintain contact with prisoners, affirming democratic ideals and giving them hope. 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.
Prisoners who receive letters are treated better because guards know that the prisoners aren’t alone.
Materials are provided, Russian language skills are not required, and all are welcome. Reservations are not required for this event.
Diversity credits are available for Mitchell Hamline students.
This event will be held at Mount Zion Temple, Margolis Hall, 1300 Summit Avenue, St. Paul, MN. This is an in person event and no online attendance is available.
