GET A SHAC 7 DAYS OF XMAS BANNER FOR YOUR WEB SITE HERE! It’s holiday time…. time to remember our friends in prison during the SHAC 7 Days of Christmas! There’s nothing like being a prisoner during the holidays. While we’re stocking up on Tofurkeys with all the trimmings, buying and making gifts, and spending time with loved ones, the SHAC 7 are behind bars and unable to participate in any of the festivities we get to enjoy. Let’s let them know that they’re not forgotten! That SHAC 7 Support Committee invites everyone to participate in a festive SHAC 7 Days of Christmas Celebration. From Monday December 11th through Sunday December 17th, we’ll count down with you the days leading into Christmas week, with daily suggestions of small ways you can help Jake, Darius, Lauren, Josh, Kevin, and Andy feel a little less lonely this holiday season. We’ll post updates and resources on SHAC7.com to keep everyone in the loop, and to keep it FUN! It goes like this…. December 11- On the first day of Christmas, the SHAC 7 said to me, “It’d be great to get pictures- nice, inspiring, or funny!” December 12- On the second day of Christmas, the SHAC 7 said to you, “Would you please send us a card or two?” December 13- On the third day of Christmas, the SHAC 7 said to me, “Getting a book or magazine would make us so happy!” (note: please check with us before sending a book or magazine--each of them has a limit on how many they can have) December 14- On the fourth day of Christmas, the SHAC 7 really meant, “Please have a donation to our support fund sent!” December 15- On the first day of Christmas, the SHAC 7 said to me, “Organize a letter-writing party!” (get their addresses here or print up and photocopy this flier!) December 16- On the sixth day of Christmas, the SHAC 7’d like to hear, “Organize an event, kick injustice in the rear!” December 17- On the seventh day of Christmas, the SHAC 7 gave a clue, “Keep fighting and send some good news!” In layman’s terms (for all you non-xmas-song types), Day 1- Mail the SHAC 7 folks a picture or two to brighten their holiday. No polaroids, but usually computer prints and normal size photos are acceptable (tip- write their name and prisoner ID# on the back so they don’t get lost). Day 2- Buy or make cards for the SHAC 7. Add a note inside and get ‘em in the mail (don’t forget not to send anything with glue, stickers, or gel-pen). Day 3- Check out the wishlists or contact info@shac7.com for info about what magazine or book the SHAC 7 prisoners would like. Day 4- Donate to the SHAC 7 fund (www.shac7.com for details). Try to collect a few dollars from everyone you know, add in what you can afford, and send it off to help the SHAC 7 buy the necessities while in prison--stamps, phone cards, soap, vegan snacks, etc. Day 5- Organize a letter-writing party. Consider the upcoming weekend- easy enough to gather some folks and get letters out in time for Xmas! (you can download and photocopy a flier to hand out with their addresses here.) If you'd like us to advertise your letter writing party on the website, please send us an email. Day 6- Get active! Perhaps organize a protest or outreach event in your area. Nothing helps support the SHAC 7 more than the use of our rights to speech and demonstration. Day 7- Don’t back down- keep on rolling with support and protest efforts for the SHAC 7, all political prisoners, and especially for the animals. Update the SHAC 7 about interesting and positive things going on around the world- we are their only good news source! Your support is the best and only gift the SHAC 7 can receive this year, so let’s make it great! For ideas, more info, and updates please visit www.SHAC7.com now and often. And don't forget about the many activist prisoners this holiday. Make sure to include them in your holiday card sending! Thanks and Happy Holidays,
