Write Night  

Free Minds Book Club & Writing Workshop

Free Minds works to empower incarcerated youth through the transformative power of reading and writing. Our members are often sent off to federal prisons across the country, where they are isolated from their families and friends. They send us poems about their experiences, their emotions, and their hopes for the future. Write Night provides an invaluable connection to the outside world and gives them a chance to express themselves with a caring community—that’s you all! It only takes a few minutes to write a response to an inmate’s poem, but it means so much to the poet. Write Night is a casual event and you are invited to drop by or stay the entire time. We are always looking to expand our circle of volunteers so feel free to bring friends! We ask that if you plan to attend, please RSVP through our Facebook page, so we can have an idea of how many people to expect. If you can, please bring a potluck snack to share. Because of the success of Write Night, we request that you bring a donation of forever stamps to help with our mailing this month.
