Whe ther you’re a mail night regular\, a newbie looking to (re)engage wit h abolitionist community\, or anything in-between\, you are welcome and we hope you join us.\n  \nWHEN: Every 4th Wednesday @ 6pm PT \n  \nWHERE: Zoom (Email crpdx@criticalresistance.org for the link) \n  \nWHAT: Prison er Mail is a political education and solidarity building program. CR vol unteers correspond with imprisoned people throughout the country to introd uce them to our mission\, connect them to abolitionist resources\, and rem ind them they have allies on the outside. While volunteers do connect with imprisoned comrades regularly\, Prisoner Mail is not a penpal program a nd you may not correspond with the same comrade every time you volunteer. \n\nDETAILS: Each mail night\, volunteers gather for two hours to respo nd to letters from imprisoned comrades and connect with other members of  Portland’s abolitionist community. If you’re new to CR’s prisoner co rrespondence program or our web app\, your first mail night will includ e a training that all volunteers must participate in before viewing or sen ding prisoner mail. Expect to: \n\nGround in CR’s mission and vision\, with an emphasis on prisoner solidarity via correspondence programs.\nBuil d an understanding of the scope and goals of CR’s Prisoner Mail progra m.\nLearn how to use the CR web app to view and respond to letters.\n\n  \nIf you can\, please create an account on the CR web app before the tra ining. Any prep you can do beforehand lets us spend more time actively con necting and writing on mail nights. Registering is quick: \n\nGo to cri ticalresistance.world/index in your preferred browser.\nSelect “Registe r.”\nEnter your first and last name\, phone number\, chapter (Portland)\ , email address\, and a password.\nComplete the “I’m not a robot” ca ptcha.\nSelect “Register” again.\nOpen your email and look for a messa ge from “support@criticalresistance.world”. This email contains a link to verify your email.\nSelect the “Activate” link.\n\n  \nYou will o nly be able to log in and access the web app after the training— a CR member will give you access during the meeting. Please do not worry if yo u’re not able to register for an account before the meeting. Like we sai d\, it’s a quick process and we can get it done during mail night. \n   \nAs always\, reach out to us at this email address with any questions and access needs. Hope to see you there!
