DESCRIPTION:BRING THE NOISE IN SUPPORT OF THE COURAGEOUS PRISONERS ON HUNGER STRIKE IN 
 PELICAN BAY AND BEYOND!\n\nMarch through downtown SF at rush hour. Let the 
 world know that the prisoners are human beings and their demands must be 
 met!\n\nFriday, July 15 5pm. Meet at 5PM at UN Plaza in SF\n...By Civic 
 Center BART station. Wear an orange jumpsuit if you have one.\n\n“What is 
 of note here and something that should concern all U.S. citizens, is the 
 increasing use of behavioral control, i.e. Torture units and human 
 experimental techniques against prisoners, not only in California but 
 across the nation. Indefinite confinement, sensory deprivation, withholding 
 food, constant illumination and use of unsubstantiated lies from informants 
 are the psychological billy clubs being used in these torture units. The 
 purpose of this ‘treatment’ is to stop prisoners from standing in 
 opposition to inhumane prison conditions and prevent them from exercising 
 their basic human rights.”\n-Statement of Solidarity with the Pelican Bay 
 Collective Hunger Strike on July1st and announcement of participation by 
 Corcoran SHU prisoners\n\nOn Friday, July 1, prisoners in California’s 
 infamous Security Housing Unit (SHU) at Pelican Bay State Prison began a 
 courageous and determined hunger strike. This then, very quickly, turned 
 into a display of collective outrage and solidarity among prisoners 
 throughout the state and beyond. More than 500 inmates refused food at 
 Pelican Bay State Prison and that 6,600 prisoners in 13 different prisons 
 participated in the hunger strike on the weekend of July 2-3. This is an 
 extremely significant and extraordinary development, something that 
 challenges people on “the outside” to sit up and take notice. Many have 
 been moved to support the prisoners in their just demands”\n\nThe prison 
 authorities are refusing to even negotiate while our brothers are 
 dying!\n\n“The prisoners are progressing rapidly to the organ damaging 
 consequences of dehydration. They are not drinking water and have 
 decompensated rapidly. A few have tried to sip water but are so sick that 
 they are vomiting it back up. Some are in renal failure and have been 
 unable to make urine for 3 days. Some are having measured blood sugars in 
 the 30 range, which can be fatal if not treated.” \n
