We're a prison support group dedicated to supporting incarcerated activists in the UK, we've been supporting a high number of prisoners for over a year now and desperately need more funds ! Please share and consider dontating, even if it's a small amount. chuffed.org/project/1342...
From Top to Bottom. Our logo which is some prison bars with a raises fist in the middle the the words "Rebels In Prison Support" written in white next to it. Below it says "Support Political Prisoners" in bold with text that's says "Did you know a 10 minute phone call from a prison costs around £1.30? Yet the average prison salary is just £15 per week" "Your donations are vital to help political prisoners afford basic essentials — like phone calls, stamps, envelopes, sanitary products and food" The background fades from vibrant oink at the top to a lighter bluey-purple with a picture of some of the Filton18 at the bottom all smiling at the camera. Top to bottom. The rebels in prison support logo with our name written in bold white next to it. Below it says: We're Rebels in prison support (RIPS), and we support and campaign for political prisoners in the UK. We support them by sending them money each week for their canteen so they can buy extra food and toiletries to make their time in prison more bearable. We also send them books, a weekly newsletter and help with travel for family and friends who can't afford to visit their loved one. This all adds up very quickly. So far in 2025 we've supported up to 40 prisoners at any one time; this sees our monthly expenses at over £3000 for canteen costs alone. With the UK seeing some of the harshest sentencing for peaceful protest, we have to be prepared to support this high number of prisoners for the foreseeable future. With our income this isn't sustainable, and we frequently find ourselves with no money left at all" RIPS logo at the top with our name next to it in bold white. Below are two photos, one of the Whole Truth Five and the other of Animal Rising (previously Animal Rebellion) activists holding a "plant-based future" banner. Below it is text in bold white which says: " RIPS supports activists from a range of organisations including Just Stop Oil, Insulate Britain, Palestine liberation groups, Extinction Rebellion, Animal Rising and more. We have supported 173 individuals in prison since 2021." RIPS logo with our name next to it in bold white at the top. Below it it is an image of some activists holding the Palestinian Flag on top of a building. Below it says in bold pink " What we spend money on" with the below written in bullet points: - Emails to send and reply via emailaprisoner.com - Commissary money - sending people things in prison (printing and postage) - website hosting -transport and expenses - Post priosn support — including gatherings and debriefs END OF TEXT

Latest from @youth-demand.bsky.social : unprecedented repression continues as the Metropolitan Police raid the homes of 17 of their supporters
Unprecedented police repression continues: Met raid 17 homes of Youth Demand supporters "Since the 6 house raids following our welcome talk at Westminster Quaker Meeting House, the Metropolitan Police have raided a further 11 houses of Youth Demand supporters. They have found no evidence of a conspiracy to commit public nuisance. Our supporters' homes are being raised in the middle of the night by the Met Police, traumatising their families and flatmates. They are being left in a complete mess with shoes being walked over beds and pets frightened by the sudden noise"
