Please be careful what you include in your letter to Peppy. Even though he’s now in the post-sentencing phase and is currently being held at the facility where he’ll be serving out the remainder of his sentence, it’s important to keep in mind that all mail will be monitored. But we won’t let that stop us from directly communicating our support! There’s still so much to share to keep him connected with the communities and movement he’s a part of.
