MEETING TO DISCUSS SETTING UP A NEWCASTLE ANARCHIST BLACK CROSS

 AT: THE CANNY LITTLE LIBRARY

The Anarchist Black Cross supports anarchist and other class struggle prisoners (through writing and visiting those incarcerated), fund-raising on behalf of prisoners in need of funds for legal cases or otherwise, and organising demonstrations of solidarity with imprisoned anarchists and other prisoners. It commonly contrasts itself with Amnesty International, which is concerned mainly with prisoners of conscience and refuses to defend those accused of encouraging violence. The ABC openly supports those who have committed illegal activity in furtherance of revolutionary aims that anarchists accept as legitimate.
