Hey Tim, I have your letter that I received right before I headed out to the Allied Media Conference. I am in Chicago until mid July, but am really looking forward to talking with you more about your vision of what the anti-prison movement in Massachusetts could/should look like. Your wisdom already shapes so much of what I hope to do, and I know that those actions are FAR from sufficient. Now that I have left the Community Church of Boston, I am hoping to be more on top of my communication with the multiple folks inside. My apologies for being a bit slow on the uptake. You can also find me at my home address - Jason Lydon 49 Wellesley Park Dorchester, MA 02124 Blessings
The last few lines of your letter really resonated with me. What I love about this project is how I am able to read people's real stories and because of that prisoners stop being a "statistic" or a "cause" and become the real people you all are.
I'll definitely take your advice into my own work- the idea that we need to prioritize community because sometimes it's easy to approach things from a combative standpoint all the time (organizing protests, etc.) and forget about how important it is to build community.
Hey Luis, This is Rev. Jason Lydon, formerly from the Community Church of Boston. I have gotten to read so much of your writing and really appreciate the poetry and art you send out from the inside. I would love to talk with you about the phone justice campaign. I am currently at the Allied Media Conference in Detroit and have stumbled upon your blog post. I am sure you know, but there is a hearing coming up on July 19th in Massachusetts about phones and prisons. Are you working with folks at PLS or Through Barbed Wire, or anywhere else, to get your info out? One of the things I'd love to do is share this piece that you have shared online. Again, thank you for all of the work that you do. I look forward to talking with you more. If you'd like to write to me directly, I'd more than welcome that. I can be reached at my home address - Jason Lydon 49 Wellesley Park Dorchester, MA 02124
I love Thor....he's my favorite of all the Avengers! Try to get to the movies at least once a month. The next movie we are seeing (this coming week I hope) is Snow White and the Huntsman. I saw Dark Shadows (I love Johnny Depp) and The Hunger Games (Also great books) Wrath of the Titans...and I can't think of anything else now. I got my B-day card and I am writing you back now...so keep an eye out for my letter. Miss you tons...keep up the great work. TPJ
