Writing to prisoners is a way to share your solidarity but it is also vital to building strong community in which we take care of each other. Contact with non incarcerated people helps fight the feeling of isolation the British state inflicts on our friends.
it is good to be mindful that these people come from the same communities as us, we have much to gain from this relationship and those locked up by scum do with us, this is not an act of charity but an outreach of solidarity and community.
The brit-sh*t state tries as hard as they can to make prison a very lonely, isolating, disconnected place, a letter is a simple way to build community and brighten someones day through communication and human interactions- somethings prison tries to destroy.

ACTS NEEDED & SAVE THE DATE! EUROVISION’T 2026
May 16th, 7:30pm, Lockon

F**k Eurovision for continuing to include Israel. If you’re with us and would like to boycott in style, then please:
- Put the date in your calendar
- Invite some friends!
- If you’re up for singing or doing something vibey and musical, drop me a message and we’ll get you on the list

We’ll be raising money for Gaza Soup Kitchen and likely a Lebanese community food project too. This means it will be £5 on the door for those who can manage it (no-one turned away, though) and we won’t be able to pay acts. In return you will get to be part of community resistance and international solidarity, and it will probably be very fun.

Eurovision’t 2025! 💥🪩💙
Saturday 17th of may 7pm-11pm
Boycott Eurovision. Stand with Palestine and lgbt+ people. Come along to an eve of fun performances. Get in touch if you would like to perform!

Eurovision continues to platform Israel, and ban Palestinian flags, keffiyeh and support for Palestine on stage. They support and promote the genocide of Palestinians.
Recently Eurovision has also banned their performers from bringing pride flags on stage, showing their lack of support for LGBT+ people.
It is time to Boycott!

Donations will be split 50/50 between fundraisers for Palestinian families in Gaza and local trans women’s fundraisers.
Suggested donation £5. Nobody turned away for lack of funds. At the Lockon 11-12 fair street.
