DESCRIPTION:Prisoner Hunger Strike Resumes September 26th!\n\nFrom July 1-20, thousands 
 of prisoners in the state of California, composed of all races, went on a 
 hunger strike. They united around five core demands raised by Pelican Bay 
 State Prison inmates directed against gross human rights violations.\n\nThe 
 courageous protest of the prisoners, as well as the solidarity of thousands 
 of people around the world have been successful in exposing the illegal and 
 inhuman conditions that tens of thousands of inmates are subjected to at 
 the hands of California’s prison system. However, the California 
 Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) refuses to address the 
 most important five core demands and continues to deny prisoners basic 
 human rights.\n\n1.  End Group Punishment & Administrative Abuse.\n\n2. 
 Abolish the Debriefing Policy, and Modify Gang Status Criteria.\n\n3. End 
 long-Term Solitary Confinement.\n\n4. Provide Adequate and Nutritious 
 Food.\n\n5. Expand and Provide Constructive Programming and 
 Privileges\n\nPrisoners in the Pelican Bay Security Housing Unit (SHU) will 
 resume their hunger strike against torturous conditions of imprisonment 
 Monday, Sept. 26th 2011. Prisoners thoughout California will also resume 
 their hunger strike Monday, September 26th and will continue the fight 
 until the CDCR ends its illegal policies and practices.\n\nThe Prisoner 
 Hunger Strike Solidarity Coalition will hold a weekly support vigil 
 throughout the hunger strike, every Thursday evening from 5pm until 7pm. 
 The Thursday night hunger strike support vigils will be at held at
