Letter Writing to Russian Political Prisoners
Wednesday, May 3, 2023 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FREE
Dozens of families in opposition to Putin’s war have fled from Russia and settled in Minnesota. Join Russians Against War – Minnesota (RAW MN), The Museum of Russian Art (TMORA), and World Without Genocide to write letters to 447 political prisoners in Russia who are detained for protesting the war in Ukraine.
This initiative will impact prisoners lives in positive ways: writing to prisoners lets detained people know they are not forgotten, the letters keep connections strong to fellow Russians across thousands of miles, and prisoners who receive letters are treated better by guards.
There is no fee to attend. Tea, sweets, and letter-writing materials are provided. Russian language skills are not required. No reservation is required.
Free parking is located across the street from the Museum (Mayflower Church parking lot). Street parking is also available.
