Host a letter-writing event
If you represent an organisation, collective, or community venue, you can host your own event. We recommend contacting Resist-Aid before announcing it to coordinate collection.
Suggestions for preparation
- Consider looking for an accessible venue with tables and chairs, choosing a suitable date, and allowing enough time for participants to read the guidance.
- If possible, have pens, paper, and envelopes available. Art supplies, printed photos, poems, or newspaper clippings can also be useful. Stickers must be attached rather than enclosed loose.
- You may want to print or share the “Tips & recommendations” and “Suggested topics” guides in the Materials for participants section.
- It can be helpful to begin with a safety reminder: organisers and state authorities may read the letters. Do not discuss the recipient's case, activism or actions, or any other sensitive legal or political details.
- Before collecting letters, it is useful to check that each one names its recipient, is dated, has numbered pages, and lists any enclosures. Anyone requesting a reply should include their name and postal return address.
Arrange collection
Email letters@resist-aid.cz before the event to arrange handover.
