DESCRIPTION:The Stop Mass Incarceration Network presents A Report Back from Sanford, 
 Florida with Cephus Johnson, Oscar Grant's Uncle, and An Evening of 
 Solidarity with the California Prisoner Hunger Strike.\n\nSupporting the 
 California prisoners' hunger strike and fighting for justice for Trayvon 
 Martin are linked together as the needed resistance to stop the slow 
 genocide of mass incarceration and all of its consequences, such as 
 stop-and-frisk, and rampant police murders of innocents. We must take up 
 the challenge and not back down!\n\nCephus Johnson will report back from 
 the opening of jury selection in the murder trial of George Zimmerman. 
 Cephus flew to Sanford Florida as part of a delegation of activists and 
 revolutionaries to talk with the community there and demand justice for 
 Trayvon Martin. presence at the opening of jury selection for the trial of 
 George Zimmerman, the killer of Trayvon Martin. The delegation had a huge 
 impact: dozens of dozens of TV channels, newspapers, and online news sites 
 reported on their presence and quoted their statements and 
 chants.\n\nSpeakers (TBA) will also speak about the situation of prisoners 
 at Pelican Bay State Prison in California who intend to launch a nationwide 
 Hunger Strike - against the torture of indefinite long-term solitary 
 confinement - to begin on July 8, 2013. They have also issued a call for 
 unity among people from different racial groups, inside and outside the 
 prisons. People who are locked down in segregation units of this 
 society’s prisons, condemned as the “worst of the worst,” are 
 standing up against injustice, asserting their humanity in the 
 process.\n\nThe Stop Mass Incarceration Network (stopmassincarceration.org) 
 will discuss its campaign to build a movement to stop the injustice of mass 
 incarceration and police brutality; and the racially biased policies and 
 practices of the police, the courts and the U.S. legal system; and to 
 support the rights of prisoners and the formerly incarcerated.\n\nThis 
 event is a fund raiser to defray costs from the trip to Sanford, and raise 
 funds for the struggle to support the prisoners' upcoming actions.
