On Sunday, December 15th, Gloria's is collaborating with prison abolition group Black and Pink to send holiday cards to those who find themselves away from home: incarcerated queer folks and criminalized survivors of gender violence in New York state. Please join us between 12-6pm for an afternoon of making holiday cards to send to our chosen families—the people who help us make home, wherever we may find ourselves. Gloria’s will provide the materials and we invite you bring embellishments to share. To RSVP and to become a member of Gloria’s, please visit our WithFriends page.
BLACK AND PINK is an open family of LGBTQIA2S+ prisoners and "free world" allies who support each other. Their work toward the abolition of the prison-industrial complex is rooted in the experience of currently and formerly incarcerated people. Outraged by the specific violence of the prison-industrial complex against LGBTQIA2S+ people and people living with HIV, Black and Pink responds through advocacy, education, direct service, and organizing.
