On Jan. 3, the United States bombed Caracas and kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores. They are being held hostage as political prisoners by the U.S. government at MDC (Metropolitan Detention Center) Brooklyn — an imperial prison built to isolate, disappear and intimidate.

Letters cut through that isolation. They assert solidarity, visibility and collective power. They are concrete acts of prisoner solidarity and resistance to imperialism, which relies on silence. Letters refuse that silence.  Write to President Maduro and Cilia Flores at the following addresses. Follow the rules listed below.
