6th Annual Attica Community Remembrance Day Recap
On September 13th, 2025, the Prisoners’ Brain Trust hosted the 6th Annual Attica Community Remembrance Day: Echoes Behind the Walls and Fires at the Borders at Victor Waryas Park in Poughkeepsie, NY. Over 150 community members came together to honor the legacy of the 1971 Attica Uprising and build connections across struggles for justice and freedom today.
The day was filled with powerful moments:
A free community BBQ that brought everyone to the table.
A healing clinic facilitated by Dr. India.
Live music, DJ Tolten, and MC Gemma keeping the energy alive.
Poetry readings and artwork from currently incarcerated artists.
community organizations tabling with resources and opportunities to get involved.
We are deeply grateful to all of our volunteers, tabling organizations, and community partners, who made this day possible. Your support ensures that the legacy of Attica lives on through collective remembrance and action.
Mark your calendars: We’ll be back at Victor Waryas Park on Saturday, September 12th, 2026, from 2–6 PM.
Same place, same time see you next year!
