Prescott Pride Center Community Clean-Up Day
It’s time for the Prescott Pride Center’s annual facelift in preparation
for all our outdoor summer events. As always, there’s plenty of work to
be done to spruce up the place. The list of chores includes painting,
cleaning, raking, planting, weeding, organizing, and more. Why not lend
a hand and give our GLBT community center the TLC it deserves?
Volunteers will be rewarded with free snacks (possibly pizza) and that
warm fuzzy feeling that comes from knowing you helped your community in
a hands-on way.
If you aren’t up to the physical challenges of Clean-Up Day, we could
always use a few donations. We’re in need of some flowers for the front
planting beds, landscape cloth, and medium-size bark mulch. You could
also be our pizza sponsor! If you can help us in any of these ways, call
Frankie at (928) 445-8520. To make a commitment to be there on Clean-Up
Day, please leave a message for us at (928) 445-8800. We’re hoping to
get a head count now so we can purchase enough food and beverages in
advance. Let’s roll up our sleeves and make a difference that we all can
see at the end of the day!

Prescott Pride Center's Softball Sunday
Now here’s a question to ponder...When was the last time you got to
first base? Has it been a while? Well, we can change that sad little
statistic with one trip to Softball Sunday. Who knows? You might even
make it to third! Now if that doesn’t entice you to lace up your
sneakers and get out for some Sunday fun, we don’t know what will. So
stretch any unused muscles you might have and let’s play ball!
Softball Sunday is for fun only and is open to people of all ages,
gender, and skill level, including first-time players. Cheerleaders and
spectators are also welcome. The fine print for players is available on
our web site at www.prescottpridecenter.com. If you attend Softball
Sunday, it indicates acceptance of those terms and conditions. Because
ball fields are challenging to come by this time of year, we are asking
anyone who plans to attend to RSVP to Loni at (928) 499-0346. When you
call, we’ll direct you to the proper field. Please, please, please RSVP
so we can all find each other in the sea of summer sports fans at the
ballpark!

Political Prisoner's Birthdays in May

Send a birthday card for these political prisoners. It's an easy way to remind these freedom fighters they aren't forgotten. If
you make one, remember- don't use anything like white-out, stickers, tape or glitter on it. We also recommend that you put your
name and address and their name and prisoner number on the card, lest the authorities "lose" the envelope and forget where
it is going. If you would like to add a birthday or be on the monthly e-mail list of political prisoners, e-mail ppbirthday@riseup.net.
Brought to you with love by the Chapel Hill Prison Books Collective.

Mondo We Langa (D. Rice)

Box 2500
Lincoln, NE 68542-2500
May 21, 1947
Ed Poindexter and Mondo We Langa (formally David Rice), have been incarcerated on life sentences for the 1971 bombing
death of an Omaha policeman. Both have insisted they never manufactured a bomb, and never instructed a 16 year-old
to make a 911 call to lure police to a trap which would kill one policeman and badly injure another. So much evidence
has come to light since their convictions to collaborate their story that Amnesty International and the Lincoln NAAC have
called for their release, or for a new trail. Mondo We Langa was a known member of the NCCF (National
Committee to Combat Fascism). This group consisted of Black Panther members that were working to protect the
black community from police brutality. David Rice was Minister of Information in the NCCF. Rice's political actions
were a large part of why he was convicted.
