The Peer Support Center held an event Wednesday evening for students to write to incarcerated members of the LGBTQ community. The dozens of students who attended wrote encouraging letters and postcards for the southwest Ohio chapter of Black and Pink, an organization dedicated to supporting queer people in prison while actively working to dismantle the Prison Industrial Complex.
