Letter-writing to the Prairieland Defendants
At the May Day Gathering 2026 in so-called Kingston, NY
Friday, May 1st, 2 PM – 7 PM
Forsyth Park, “Kingston, NY”The Prairieland Defendants are political prisoners: arrested, charged, and now convicted after a noise demo at an ICE facility in so-called Texas. The charges against them were extreme, in a case criminalizing dissent and immigrant defense organizing.
Come to the May Day Gathering on Friday and write letters to our comrades. Letter-writing supplies and info for writing and donating will be provided.

One of the most consequential trials of Trump's second term begins on February 17th, and our friend Des is in the middle of it with a box of zines.
Join us in Asheville on Sunday, Feb 15th at 5pm for a teach-in on the Prairieland case. We'll begin with a brief presentation of background information, the situation of our friend Des, and the latest updates on his trial, with a special emphasis on the implications for the movement to abolish ICE and defeat fascism in the US.
Our collective will then facilitate a discussion on how this case might inform our thinking about violence, nonviolence, and state repression in this moment of growing opposition. The final segment of the teach-in will be a space for participants to engage with the Free Des Solidarity Week by writing a letter, creating art, or developing materials to educate others about the case!
This is a free event, but we ask that you bring a donation to support Des' legal defense fund. Given the topic of this conversation, consider the recommendations we've made at https://firestorm.coop/news/expect-surveillance.html

“I believe in a world where there’s more kindness, care, empathy, and love.”
#FreeDes, facing decades in prison and deportation for the “crime” of allegedly transporting anarchist zines, or what’s being called “guilty by literature.”

For #BannedBooksWeek we're doing a limited run of shirts with one of our favorite designs of all time! The "Trash Fascism, Not Books" possum was created by artist Des Revol for our 2023/24 campaign to send thousands of banned books back to Florida kids. Since then, we've had so many people reach out asking for the image on stickers and apparel.
We hope that these shirts will also help to raise awareness for Des, who is facing years in prison and possible deportation over allegedly transporting "subversive" literature in his car. The fact that zines exactly like those you can can find at Firestorm (and countless other radical bookstores) are being used as evidence of criminality is a reminder that fascism isn't just coming for your TBR pile—it's coming for us all, unless we trash it! http://freedes.net
We're only taking shirt orders through Bonfire until Saturday, October 18th, so check out the full details at https://www.bonfire.com/store/firestorm 🔥
