MONDAY JULY 18th:
NATIONAL CONFERENCE CALL
TO SUPPORT
THE PELICAN BAY HUNGER STRIKERS
Please join
us for a 1-hour national conference call to get factual updates and
discuss strategies for the week ahead.
Monday,
July 18th
6pm EDT/
5pm CDT/ 4pm MDT/ 3pm PDT
toll-free
call in number: 1(800) 920-7487
participant
code: 62435226
As we enter the 3rd week of the historic Hunger Strike that
began at Pelican Bay State Prison,overwhelming reports of
hunger strikers' medical conditions show us people outside of prison
must support the prisoners in winning their demands by intensifying
pressure on the CDCR to negotiate with the prisoners.
The CDCR wants this struggle to
disappear quickly and quietly. They are clearly willing to let
prisoners die without even entering into serious discussion.
The challenge for supporters
outside of prison is to match the courage of the hunger strikers, and
to effectively pressure the CDCR to immediately negotiate within the
standards all negotiations follow: with the prisoners in good faith, addressing
all the demands, and with the prisoner-approved outside mediation
team.
BETWEEN
NOW AND MONDAY, PLEASE CONTINUE TO FORWARD UPDATES, ORGANIZE ACTIONS,
and CALL DECISION-MAKERS (info below)
