North Coast | Police State and PrisonsCommunity Activist on Hunger Strike to Protest Crackdown on Free Speech
24 minute audio interview with Northern Humboldt community activist, Tad, who was arrested after speaking at a county supervisors meeting against local manifestations of the prison industrial complex. Tad is currently on a hunger strike as a form of protest after receiving a 35 day jail sentence for "talking too long" at the meeting.
Tomorrow community activist Tad will turn himself in for a 35 day sentence for speaking 39 seconds too long at a Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting, concerning the Bar-O Boys Ranch. At this facility Humboldt youth are incarcerated and exploited. For more information go to http://theplazoid.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/send-your-kids-to-camp-for-free/
Tad is currently on a hunger strike and expects to remain on it for the duration of his sentence. Tad's arrest follows a history of his being systematically silenced for exposing the truth in local government meetings.
