Free Alabama Movement

The Free Alabama Movement is an inmates rights group based in the United States. With the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee,[1] the Free Alabama Movement has organized the 2016 U.S. prison strike that involved an estimated 24,000 prisoners in 24 states, the largest prison strike in U.S. history.[2] The strike began on September 9, 2016, the 45th anniversary of the Attica Prison uprising.[3]
