SUMMARY:On the Same Page: July Write Night
DESCRIPTION:Join Free Minds for our first in-person Write Night since 2020! At Capitol Hill Write Night\, Free Minds members who are formerly incarcerated will join other Free Minds supporters and community members to share personal reflections before each participant reads and responds to poetry by our incarcerated writers. Responses will be collected and mailed to the poets following the event. \n \nRSVP for On the Same Page: Write Night \nMany Free Minds members have shared that they would not have made it through the most difficult times in prison were it not for our correspondence and resources\, particularly the words of support and encouragement that our community back home provides on their writing. \n“When I received my first poem back from a Write Night event\, I was in awe. Reading the comments helped me to believe that there are people who actually care. This program is truly life changing. It’s given me something to look forward to\, and it’s changed my outlook on life\, myself\, society\, and those around me.” – Free Minds Member Ahna \nThank you to the Capitol Hill Community Foundation and St. Mark’s Episcopal Church for making this event possible. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to ensure sufficient space.

SUMMARY:Call To Action Meeting - No New Federal Prison
DESCRIPTION:Free Minds along with Building Community Not Prisons will share about the devastating impact a new proposed prison in Letcher County\, Kentucky will have. Send comments directly to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. We need thousands of comments sent in by the deadline: April 15\, 2024. \nRSVP Here \nIf built\, the close proximity of this new Bureau of Prisons (BOP) facility to DC means that DC residents would likely spend their sentences there. The proposed location in Letcher County\, Kentucky has no airport and no bus terminal and is only accessible by an 8 hour costly car ride from the DC area. Studies prove that social connections are vital to successful reentry. A new prison will only continue the current isolation DC residents in the BOP experience. We need community investments\, not more incarceration. Join us April 9 in conversation on the impact of this prison and to write to Congress.
