Black August was started by Black prisoners in honor of the revolutionary spirits of George Jackson and Jonathan Jackson. Flying Kites will carry on the Black August tradition of political education and provide information about how people can support current campaigns for political prisoners and the prison movement overall.
Political Prisoners face brutal repression from the state for their resistance to oppression. The state attempts to isolate them from their communities and discourage other oppressed peoples from engaging in political activity to liberate themselves. Letter writing aka “flying kites” is a way to express support and gratitude to political prisoners for their sacrifices and their contributions to our struggles for liberation.
Flying Kites will serve as an introduction to Black August and political prisoners. Participants will be encouraged to continue learning about political prisoners and to take action in support of the prison movement beyond this event. Please bring a stamp, pen, paper, and envelope.
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
