The march started at 6:30pm at Laurel Park as marchers handed out fliers and made their way down Pacific Avenue and on to the county courthouse where they picked up members of Occupy Santa Cruz, who were at that time still engaged in post general assembly meetings. The larger group which then numbered aprroximately 75 people marched across the street to the county jail, making noise and shouting chants in unison, such as, "the passion/for freedom/is stronger than all prisons," and, "no prisons/no borders/fuck law and order." People brought a variety of noisemakers, including musical instruments and five gallon plastic water jugs to drum on.

After a short speech about the repressive and self-creating nature of prison culture, protesters made their way to the front entrance of the jail for their final chants.

By September 28 of this year, 12,000 California prisoners were on hunger strike. For more info, see:
