One of the most profound impacts of domestic violence, state violence, and incarceration is the overwhelming sense of isolation. Formerly incarcerated people, prisoners’ rights groups and advocacy groups have all stated how much receiving letters of support break through isolation and help prisoners to survive. Join our lover letter-writing campaign! Shortlink: bit.ly/dearnanhui

Nan-Hui has received letters of love from people from all over the country, especially as local groups in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and New York City have hosted letter-writing events. Nan-Hui has said how much these letters have helped keep her spirits alive, and that she often re-reads them during hard times. Please continue to send those notes of love and host local letter-writing events! Reach out and let her know that you support her.
