On the eve of International Women’s Day, 8 March, the Moscow branch of Yabloko will hold an action of writing letters to political prisoners. We would like to dedicate this action to women political activists, as well as to all women who have suffered from the actions of the regime and are forced to celebrate the holiday behind bars. Yabloko printed postcards with flowers drawn by artists and those who are not indifferent to civic activists, journalists and politicians in trouble.
We are waiting for you at the address Pyatnitskaya 31, building 2, on 2 March from 18:00 to 21:00.
There are so many names of women imprisoned for political reasons, so we will be glad to everyone who is ready to write with us to these women – political prisoners.
The action will be held with the support of the Politzek-Info (https://tgram.me/politzekinfo ) project.
There will be a live performance by Alexander Kubalov and Yelena Burmistrova (the Alerta group) with a musical programme, as well as reciting poems by political prisoners.
Attorneys Maria Eismont and Olga Pelshe, and film director Kirill Nenashev are invited to the action.
Please fill out the registration form (https://yabloko-org.timepad.ru/event/2332584/ ) to participate in the event and also take your passport with you.
