Revolutionary greetings:

You are receiving this letter because you have recently written to the Maoist 
Internationalist Movement (MIM) for a subscription to MIM Notes. MIM Notes is 
free to all prisoners, and you should be receiving your first issues soon.

For your information, MIM has initiated a prisoner anti-imperialist 
organization, called "united Struggle from Within" (USW). USW is led by MIM and 
works in cooperation with the Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist League (RAIL), a 
MIM-led anti-imperialist mass organization on the outside. Working with USW is 
something to think about if you are interested in activism exposing the Amerikan 
prisons system and in organizing as part of a general anti-imperialist movement.

RAIL in the West has been focusing on censorship, payment for imprisonment 
(e.g., prisoners being forced to pay for medical care), prisoner "speech" 
restrictions (such as restrictions on personal calls), and prisoner labor as the 
objects of investigation and exposure. RAIL organizes people through public 
events and discussions, flyers and publications about imperialism in general and 
the prisons in particular. USW should take a similar role in educating people 
about prisons while organizing against repression in the prisons system.

Some administrative details

Subscriptions. We are writing to you because you have just subscribed to MIM 
Notes. To keep your subscriptions coming, you need to write to us again 30 days 
after you sent us your first letter, and then every ninety days after that. 
Because of the overwhelming amount of censorship in prisons, and the rate at 
which your captors move you around, we need to know that you are still in the 
same place and still receiving your papers. We will make sure that MIM Notes 
knows you are writing and to keep sending you the paper.

Releases. To keep working with comrades after you get out of prison, MIM needs 
to know if you are looking at a (possible) release date at any time in the two 
years. Please do let us know as soon as you have a possible release scheduled.

Library books. MIM is looking to donate books from its Free Books for Prisoners 
program to prison libraries. If you can, please help us with this by sending us 
the name of the librarian at your prison so that we can contact her or him 
directly. Also, if you can ask the librarian if s/he would want to receive 
donations from us and what the requirements for donations would be (do the books 
have to be new? etc.) that would help.

We look forward to hearing from you again soon and to many years of productive 
organizing together.

In Struggle,
MIM
