From The Final Straw Radio

Download This Episode

As we enter into the 2025 Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners, we’re sharing a discussion with three anarchists doing prisoner support in different national contexts, prompted by topics brought by the guests. You’ll hear first from Moshe of ABC Belarus, then Nicole of the Solidarity Apothecary and finally from Anya of Solidarity Zone speak on topics such as service work in solidarity, gendered dynamics of care work, difficulties in organizing ongoing and longterm anti-repression work from within exile and diaspora communities, burnout and self-care.

ABC Belarus and Solidarity Apothecary are members of the new federation, Solifdarity.International that we spoke about in our August 10th, 2025 episode.

this is a really important conversation to have and to make more public, and it touches on tons of under-represented and discussed issues. thanks to the final straw, as well as to the conversants here. i hope that people take this and use it as a prompt for more such interactions (how do we make prison support do-able for a variety of levels of capacity, how do we ease the process of ex-inmates after years inside, etc). not to mention the gendered aspects of who does support work for prisoners, etc. 

this stuff is only going to get even more important to think about and address as these years continue.
