Leeds ABC

Supporting anarchist prisoners

About Me

Leeds Anarchist Black Cross was re-formed in late 2004 with the aim of offering practical support to anarchist prisoners. This can take many forms... writing letters to imprisoned comrades... raising funds towards legal costs and support campaigns... publishing and distributing literature about the prison system, its victims and their struggles... demos outside prison gates or the businesses that employ prisoners as slave labour.

My Interests

Donations!!! Unused postage stamps from anywhere - especially the UK, Germany, Italy, Poland, the Spanish state, Russia and the US... of course, we can always use cash, cheques, postal orders or IMOs (but please leave the name blank, as we don't have a Leeds ABC bank account!)

I'd like to meet:

E-mail us for a copy of our full distro list and to be put on our mailing list.

Music:

Our favourite sounds are the crash of walls falling down, the dying screams of our rulers and the triumphant roar of a rejoicing liberated proletariat

Movies:
