Description: The newly revitalized Binghamton Prisoner Support Network (PSN) has several activities planned, including re-establishing contacts with incarcerated people we have written to in the past; beginning new correspondences with prisoners; sending literature, books and legal resources to people on the inside, and so on.

All of these things require funds, which we are raising, and one major expenditure of those funds is postage. Stamps are necessary for basically everything we do, and here’s where YOU can help in a real and immediate way.

We are asking for donations of stamps starting tomorrow, 22 September 2009. If you’re on the BU campus, drop by the Graduate Student Organization office, LN 2441, to leave your donation. If you’re not in the area, you can mail your donation here:

Prisoner Support Network
c/o Graduate Student Organization
Library North / LN 2441
SUNY Binghamton
Binghamton, NY 13902-6000

We will accept any postage, in any amount, but we prefer first-class “forever” stamps because of constantly rising postage rates.

Make today the day that you make a difference!
