The Attica Brothers Foundation and the Fortune Society are pleased to invite you to the 54th annual remembrance of the rebellion and retaking at Attica Prison in 1971.
Join the surviving Attica Brothers, partner orgs, family members, and supporters to remember everything we’ve lost, talk about why Attica matters now, and plan for the next generation.
Seating is limited, please use the RSVP link to help us coordinate with the venue and make sure to arrive on time.
Attica Brothers Foundation was started by survivors of the retaking of Attica prison on September 13, 1971 to care for the Brothers and their 50-year struggle for human rights.
A major component of our work is preserving the archive of Attica material that includes evidence from Attica Brothers Legal Defense and interviews with surviving Attica Brothers. It is vital that we maintain their voices for future generations.
Our Team
Our Board of Directors is made up of Attica Brothers, a radical lawyer, and longtime supporters of the Attica family. We are in daily contact with several of the Brothers and remain committed to their vision.
Our Vision
Attica Brothers Foundation has several interconnected goals in mind.
First is to support the Attica Brothers in a very literal sense by facilitating healthcare needs, providing community engagement, technical support for online and in-person speaking opportunities, and other requests.
Second is preserving, maintaining, and building the archive of Attica related material currently held by the Foundation. The archive includes both photo and video evidence of crimes committed by the State of New York, as well as first-person accounts from the Attica Brothers and their supporters.
Finally, we intend to add the voice of the Attica Brothers to the current conversation about policing, prisons, and race relations in the United States. Many of the Attica Brothers were politically active before they entered the prison system, and all of them have put their lives on the line for the cause of freedom and human dignity. Their perspective and their history lend a gravitas to the community that has been hard won by decades in this struggle.
