DESCRIPTION:In support and respect for the courageous prisoners at Pelican Bay State 
 Prison and other prisons all around California, whose July 2011 hunger 
 strike challenged the inhumane conditions of the Security Housing Units 
 [the SHU] and inspired the support of people far and wide—we now call on 
 people of conscience everywhere across the U.S. and beyond, to join in an 
 International Day of Protest and Solidarity with the Prison Hunger Strikers 
 on Monday, August 1, 2011.\n\nThe Hunger Strikers achieved real success: 
 the conditions of systematic abuse and torture in the SHU—and widespread 
 thru the prison system—were dragged into the light of day. Their original 
 five core demands have now been acknowledged—although not yet met—by 
 the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), which 
 promised to consider them. On Monday, August 1 many diverse people and 
 organizations will publicly speak out and act in support of these demands. 
 Prisoners must gain the human rights and civil rights demanded by their 
 very humanity—and by ours outside the prison walls too, wherever we may 
 be.\n\nWe insist there must be NO RETALIATION by the authorities against 
 individual prisoners, groups of prisoners, prisoners’ family members or 
 attorneys or other advocates, in the wake of the Hunger Strike. (And we 
 will be paying attention.)\n\nLet us show on August 1 that the prisoners do 
 not stand alone, through our demonstrations, rallies, religious services, 
 fasts, call-the-governor-days, art and music, taking to the airwaves thru 
 talk show and other call-ins, and many other public, visual, and creative 
 expressions.\n\nSend word of your plans to 
 prisonerhungerstrikesolidarity@gmail.com and follow news and information at 
 prisonerhungerstrikesolidarity.wordpress.com.\n\nWherever you are, make 
 August 1, a Day of Protest and Solidarity with the Prison Hunger Strikers, 
 a day that counts.\n
