There's an #Anarchist #BlackCross Federation, #ABCF. It's a #federation of #ABC #collectives, each of which supports anarchist #PoliticalPrisoners and #POWs. Here's their website, with info about them and a donation link:
https://www.abcf.net/about-us/
The first ABCs started in Imperial #Russia to support prisoners held in Siberia. Now, they're supporting Russian resisters of Putin's war in #Ukraine and victims of repression by Lukashenko's regime in #Belarus, along with chapters in many cities and countries around the world. #Prison is a horror which nobody could possibly deserve. Anarchists have always opposed the #state, been oppressed by the state, and defied state oppression in mutual #solidarity. The police and prisons are the state's tools for violence. The ABC is our tool for solidarity.
