Campaign to Adopt a Vieques Prisoner of Conscience

The Committee for the Rescue and Development of Vieques is organizing a Campaign: Adopt a Vieques Prisoner of Conscience. They are asking colleagues in the peace movement to choose one of the people recently imprisoned for civil disobedience during the recent military maneuvres in Vieques, and write and send news to them. They are also requesting any economic assistance, since prisoners cannot receive anything from their families but have to buy everything they need inside the prison. Only money orders are accepted and can be mailed to the following addresses;
