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 different locations in San Francisco and Oakland each week.
