Event description from organizers:

"This winter, join Abolitionist Mail Project to write seasonal greeting cards to over 100 AMP members incarcerated in Massachusetts.  The isolation of prisons can make the holiday season feel especially lonely.  Many of our members have few or no contacts outside of prison, and this may be some of the only mail they receive all year.  Let's build connections as a step towards building the world we want to live in."

Event description from organizers:

"Come See Me in the Good Light, the award winning documentary, is a community held celebration of Andrea Gibson — their poems, their courage, and the way their words have carried so many of us through the darkest and brightest seasons of our lives. This documentary gathers us in shared breath and witness, honoring Andrea’s legacy of queer tenderness, political truth-telling, and radical love. It’s more than a screening; it’s a collective offering, a moment to stand together in the good light they taught us to seek, make, and protect. We are honored to hear poems and stories shared by the acclaimed singer-songwriter and longtime friend of Andrea, Mary Lambert, whose music has held space for queer grief and joy for over a decade. We are also joined by award-winning poet and editor Adrie Rose, whose work embodies the fierce gentleness Andrea championed"
