Noise Demo at Doncaster Prison

Gather your crew, collective, community, organization, or just yourself and come together to raise a racket and remind those on the inside that they are not alone. Bring signs and banners, drums, buckets, pots and pans, and anything that makes noise and light. Bring your love and support for prisoners, your hopes and visions for liberation, and your rage and anger for a system that locks up our family, friends, and comrades.

Internationally, noise demonstrations outside of prisons are a way to remember those who are held captive by the state and a way to show solidarity with imprisoned comrades and loved ones. We come together to break the loneliness and isolation.

We know that prison is beyond reform and must be completely abolished. It is a mechanism of repression used by the state to maintain a social order rooted in white supremacy, patriarchy, and heteronormativity. To come together outside of the sites of repression is to also stand in defiance of what they represent.
The logic of the state and capital — of punishment and imprisonment, must be replaced by a rejection of oppression and exploitation. This call is one step in that direction.

Doncaster Prison is about 20 minutes walk from Doncaster railway station and a group will set off walking from there to the demo at 4.15pm. If you’re coming from Sheffield you could join us on the 3.32pm from Sheffield which is due in to Donny at 4.10pm.

If you would like to come but trains and such a walk are a barrier to attending, get in touch (yorkshire@cape-campaign.org) and we will try and figure out an alternative way of getting you there.
