Tamms 10 Petition
Posted March 10, 2009 by jmacphee in Events
This is not something we do here on the blog, but I wanted to post this up for the people who have been organizing their asses off fighting a control unit prison in Illinois. Tamms Year Ten is the culmination of years of organizing to fight the torture happening at the Tamms super maximum security prison in southern Illinois. Beginning as a project where artists and family members wrote letters containing poetry to all the prisoners held at Tamms. A good example of how art can start a process that leads to real change, the simple gesture of writing the letters has turned into a full-blown political campaign, with a bill introduced to stop human rights abuses at Tamms.
Please take a minute, click this simple link, and sign the online petition. It's simple, and the more people that click, the more backbone the Representative that introduced the bill might have to follow through! Click here:
