 Anarchist Black Cross Federation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anarchist Black Cross Federation (ABCF) was created in 1995 when the North American ABC collectives from Paterson (NJ), Bronx (NY), and Washington DC merged into a federation.

ABCF believes that it is important to support PPs/POWs as a priority, because PPs/POWs have themselves helped to build the movement that supports them, "As people continuing to struggle for change, we are obligated and it is our duty to support those people who are in prison as a result of struggling to make change."
