Give Through the Bars

Throughout 2025, the Anarchist Black Cross Federation (ABCF) has continued to strengthen and build capacity. ABC chapters and allied organizations across the US and Canada put together 10 Running Down The Walls 5K events this fall raising a combined $17,572 for the ABCF Warchest Program. These events, along with the support of contributors like you, enabled us to once again consistently provide bimonthly disbursements to over a dozen Warchest Program recipients. Since its inception in 1994, the ABCF Warchest has raised almost $275,000 and at times has been the primary financial support for several political prisoners. As we head into the new year, we plan for 2026 to be chock full of solidarity, mutual aid, and freedom for political prisoners– we’d love it if you could join us in building capacity for these efforts.

Notably, just this year we added 6 recipients to the Warchest (Brian DiPippa, Agustin Pérez Domínguez, Agustin Pérez Velasco, Juan Velasco Aguilar, Martín Pérez Domínguez, and Hridindu Roychowdhury) increasing the volume of disbursements by about 1/3 and bringing the current recipient total to 17 comrades! As usual, we are actively involved in supporting defendants and ready to offer support in new cases as they unfold. In the spirit of giving to those who have sacrificed their freedom for liberation movements, please consider making a contribution to sustain the work of the ABCF Warchest and spread the word.

We can accept contributions of any amount through:

CashApp – $TimABCF
Venmo – @TimFasnachtABCF
PayPal – paypal.me/abcfwarchest
check/MO to Lancaster ABCF, P.O.B. 8682, Lancaster, PA 17604*

*We may be able to provide tax deductions for donations over $500. Please contact us first if you’d like to make a deductible donation.

Of course, funds aren’t the only way to contribute to prisoner solidarity efforts– follow chapters and connect with one in your area to support their work. You can also gift the 2026 Certain Days calendar or merch from Philly ABC or NYC ABC to friends and loved ones.

Stay strong and stay in the struggle <3

International Call For New Year’s Eve Noise Demonstrations

This is a call for a raucous night of strong solidarity with those imprisoned by the state on one of the noisiest nights of the year. On New Year’s Eve gather your crew, collective, community, organization, or just yourself and come together to raise a racket and remind those on the inside that they are not alone.

Internationally, noise demonstrations outside of prisons are a way to remember those who are held captive by the state and a way to show solidarity with imprisoned comrades and loved ones. We come together to break the loneliness and isolation.

We know that prison is beyond reform and must be completely abolished. It is a mechanism of repression used by the state to maintain a social order rooted in white supremacy, patriarchy, and heteronormativity. To come together outside of the sites of repression is to also stand in defiance of what they represent.

The logic of the state and capital—of punishment and imprisonment, must be replaced by a rejection of oppression and exploitation. This call is one step in that direction.

Wherever you are, meet on New Year’s Eve at the prisons, jails, and detention centers, be loud in solidarity with those imprisoned and to push forward the idea of a world free from domination.

We want a world without walls and borders.

We will fight together until everyone is free!

Emergency Fundraiser for Stop Cop City defendant Priscilla Grim

Priscilla is dealing with a serious dental emergency. A dangerous infection has spread in one of her teeth, and she urgently needs a root canal. She doesn’t have dental insurance, and despite years of trying, hasn’t been able to secure a job that provides benefits or pays enough to cover major medical care.

Although the judge in the Stop Cop City case has indicated the RICO charge will be dropped, the written decision has not yet been submitted, and the domestic terrorism charge is still active. These unresolved charges continue to block her from being hired in jobs that offer insurance or a living wage, leaving her without access to basic healthcare.

Donate at https://supportpriscilla.org/#donate

She’s trying to raise $3,000 this week to get the procedure before the infection spreads further. Without treatment, she risks losing more teeth—and untreated dental infections can lead to life-threatening complications, including heart issues. The only alternative is a full extraction, which could destabilize the rest of her teeth and require additional costly procedures.

This is a Code Red situation. She needs support, community care, and big ideas right now. 💔

If you can help or share, it means everything.

Political Prisoner updates 11.25.25

via nycabc

One part of NYC ABC‘s every-other-week Political Prisoner Letter-Writing Dinners is presenting updates and announcements. These typically relate to PPs, POWs, or are especially relevant to folks in NYC. Since February 2011, we’ve been printing and mailing hard copies of the updates and announcements to about a dozen imprisoned comrades.

In April 2013, along with Denver Anarchist Black Cross and Sacramento Prisoner Support, we expanded printing and mailing to include all U.S. held political prisoners and prisoners of war. As of September, 2014, that work has diffused over several support crews, collectives, and individuals.

On this page you will find an archive of what we’ve compiled since mid-March 2011. Please download and mail the current edition to prisoners with whom you correspond and share links with those who might be interested in doing the same.

RIP Jamil Al-Amin

via https://www.instagram.com/p/DRbRxA-DNCy/

The spiritual leader, political prisoner, and revolutionary Imam Jamil Abdallah Al-Amin passed away in prison this Sunday, November 23, 2025.

Known by his alias “H. Rap Brown,” Al-Amin served as the fifth chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and as the Minster of Justice in the Black Panther Party. Al-Amin was a fierce supporter for Black Power and organized rebellion against white supremacy and state violence across the US.

In 1966, Al-Amin organized in Greene County, Alabama to secure Black voter registration and political power following the passage of the National Voting Rights Act. Two years later, Al-Amin helped represent and co-organize the April 1968 Columbia protests against university expansion into Harlem park land in order to build a gymnasium.

Because of his galvanizing force as an organizer and success at radicalizing youth, Al-Amin became a target of the FBI’s COINTELPRO program, which systematically surveilled and attempted to bring down revolutionaries in the late 1960s across the US. It was in prison that Brown changed his name to Al-Amin and converted to Islam. From his cell, Al-Amin wrote of the need for organized revolutionary change while he was on hunger strike.

Despite Al-Amin not ultimately being liberated in this lifetime, his political thought and revolutionary legacy will endure as he passes onto the next.
