Call for the California Hunger Strikers!


Prisoners in the Security Housing Unit (SHU) at Pelican Bay State 
Prison (California) kicked off waves of  indefinite hunger strikes 
that beginning on  July 1, 2011 to protest the cruel, inhumane and 
tortuous conditions of  their imprisonment. At least 6,600 prisoners 
across the state of CA have followed their example. After unanimously  
rejecting an insulting offer by the CDCR, prisoners continue to strike 
for meaningful changes in Security Housing Unit (SHU) conditions and 
policies.

Support the hunger strikers by contacting the CDCR and urging them to 
negotiate with the prisoners and honor their 5 demands!

Call from 9am-5pm Pacific Time:

Secretary Matthew Cate, Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
Phone: (916) 323-6001

CDCR Public Affairs Office: (916)445-4950

CA Governor Jerry Brown: (916) 445-2841

Sample Script for Phone Calls:

“Hi my name is _________ . I’m calling about the statewide prisoner
hunger strike that began at Pelican Bay. I support the prisoners &
their reasonable “five core demands.” I am alarmed by the rapidly
deteriorating medical conditions of the hunger strikers. I urge you 
to  make sure the CDCR negotiates with the prisoners and the outside  
mediation team the prisoners have approved, immediately & in good  
faith, before prisoners are force-fed or even die. Thank you.”

They will tell you that the strike is over. We are told that as of 
7/22/11, Pelican Bay has stopped striking but three other facilities 
are still going. Until we hear that all prisoners are accepting food 
and that all promises are being kept, the strike is not over and the 
outside pressure cannot let up. Keep calling but do not limit yourself 
to calling. Lives are still on the line.

Call for Indigenous Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier!

(Info below abridged and adapted from alert launched into cyberspace  
by Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee)
http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/alert.htm

On June 27th, the 66-year-old Leonard Peltier was thrown in "The 
Hole"  at USP-Lewisburg where he purportedly will stay for the next 
six  months.  According to what is currently known, Leonard's cell 
was  searched that day.  A guard allegedly was shocked by a wire(s) in 
the  cell. The guard claimed "assault."   Leonard wasn't present 
during the search, having already been removed to "The Hole".

Call from 9am to 5pm Eastern time. Reference "Leonard Peltier 
#89637-132" being unfairly put in  (administrative) segregation or 
detention-- and for an unfairly long amount of time.

Call USP Lewisburg at 570-523-1251 and ask for Warden Bledsoe

Dr. Thomas Kane, Acting Director, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP)-

(202) 307-3250 (Director)

Or (202) 307-3198 (Secretary)

Keep calling but don't limit yourself to calling! Prisons can't 
trample on captive movement warriors without getting a response from 
the movements!
