Update on our “Flood the Jail with Mail” campaign
April 23rd, 2008
On Monday, April 21, was the official deadline for our letter campaign “Flood the Jail with Mail“. So far, we had about 60 confirmed letters from around the world, but we are assured that it’s not over - some people are getting ready to hold small events where they collect letters for Kareem, so they can send them all together in a big envelope. Our aim is to collect at least 30 letters per event.
People have sent Kareem letters, postcards, pictures, books, etc. We are hoping that he will write back confirming to us that he received all these letters, or at least most of them. But even if the campaign is over now you can continue writing to Kareem. He is always happy to receive letters from his friends and supporters.
We also have in mind to create another campaign of this sort during the end of the summer in August, and in between, we’d have other kinds of campaigns to keep people aware of Kareem. If anyone wants to help out, they should contact editor@freekareem.org and we’d be happy to accept any suggestions or help.

Hey E & Crew: this wouldn’t have happened without you. Thanks so much for giving us an opportunity to work with your squad of Teen Superheroes. G_d bless you and keep Kareem.

Assalamu Alaikum,
I wish I had become aware of this before now - as I might have been able to pitch it as a campaign to support via MAS Freedom - please keep me updated. I am currently in Hurghada, Egypt.
Ma’Salaama,
