Alliance of Families for Justice
For families with an incarcerated loved one, the holidays can be heavy. Financial strains, limited visitation, and an empty seat at the table make traditions harder to keep. These challenges often leave families feeling isolated, deepening the pain of the season.

““There is an air to Attica that is toxic, and it seems to poison everyone who breathes it. The prison is a hate factory, and when you live here you feel it powerfully.” - William Blake, currently incarcerated inside of Attica. solitarywatch.org/2024/03/12/voi…

The day before Attica prison was seized, a seemingly small act—a soup can thrown at a guard—became a symbol of the brewing tensions and unrest that would erupt into the historic uprising. It foreshadowed the larger fight for dignity & justice that was about to unfold. #OnThisDay

#OnThisDay The Attica Uprising and subsequent massacre didn’t happen out of nowhere. It was fueled by repeated failures to address the men’s concerns, broken promises, and a total disregard for human lives, all of which escalated tensions.
