A very special celebration 🎈
Please join me in celebrating my dear little sister Lore all this month of October. Her birthday is coming up on the 27th!
Lore has dedicated her life to helping people and making them feel safe and loved. If you’re seeing this appeal, you might be one of the countless Philadelphians who’s life was changed or saved by this selfless community care worker. She and all political prisoners and victims of mass incarceration deserve that same kind of support from us, now more than ever.
Lore will spend her birthday in captivity this year; convicted of no crime, she remains in federal detention nonetheless as a convenient scapegoat for Philadelphia’s local Trump sycophant while he rallies people like the FOP and the Proud Boys to support his political career.
Here is how you can let Lore know that she is loved and not forgotten:
Wish Lore a happy birthday! Let’s send an avalanche of birthday love. Reading and writing to friends and loved ones is always the best way to spend the day, but now we have an extra special reason to share. Follow the directions to reach Lore directly with your messages of hope, support, and solidarity.
Send a birthday gift. Select an item off of Lore’s Wishlist at Powell’s Books. Having reading material is a very important way to help Lore (and the whole block that she shares with!) stay grounded and well.
Donate. Being a political prisoner is expensive but we won’t let that stop us from supporting Lore every day. All donations through this site (or Venmo: @WeLoveLore) go towards her legal defense, health, and well-being as she carries this unimaginable burden.
Share. Tell a friend, share this post, our Instagram and Twitter, and/or write a message in the sky to make sure that people know they can support Lore, too.
And most importantly:
Support political prisoners and the victims of mass incarceration. Everyone deserves to be loved and supported like Lore. You can help to support them by donating funds or your labor to these organizations doing the front line work every day in Philadelphia.
Wishing you all the love and light that this season of change has to offer in the meantime 🍂
