DESCRIPTION:All Out to Sacramento Wednesday October 9 for Rally & Legislative Hearings 
 to support the Prisoner-led Movement to End Solitary Confinement! \n\nOn 
 September 5, the historic California prisoner hunger strike was suspended, 
 after Senator Loni Hancock and Assemblymember Tom Ammiano agreed to hold 
 legislative hearings to address conditions in the SHU. These hearings would 
 not be happening if it were not for the pressure put on the legislature and 
 media by people like you. \n\nAlthough the third hunger strike is 
 suspended, major demands remain unmet. Please join us for a rally and the 
 joint Public Safety Committee hearing on the conditions in California 
 prisons. Former prisoners, loved ones, lawyers, experts and advocates will 
 testify before the legislature and rally with the people.\n\nWhere: 
 Sacramento, CA Capitol Building\nWhen: Wednesday, October 9, 2013\n11:30 am 
 Opening Rally (West Side of Capitol) \n1-3:30pm Hearings (on the fourth 
 floor of the Capitol Building)\n4 pm Closing Rally\n\nThe Public Safety 
 hearings provide an opportunity for us to amplify our own expert knowledge 
 about the impacts of long-term solitary confinement, and are part of the 
 strategy being pursued to win the 5 demands of the prisoner hunger 
 strikers. Rally, mobilize, and continue the Hunger Strikers’ 
 campaign!\n\nHelp us make sure that the hearing is attended by our 
 legislators by sending a quick message here:

 signs and art to make the rallies visually stunning! Self-care and 
 community-care: Bring a lawn chair if you want to rest at the rally and 
 some water/snacks to stay healthy. \n\nCARPOOL EAST BAY: Please RSVP to 
 Tynan@curbprisonspending.org by Monday, October 7. Carpools will leave from 
 MacArthur BART in Oakland at 9:30am on Wednesday.\n\nCENTRAL VALLEY AND 
 BEYOND: Email Tynan@curbprisonspending.org if you are traveling from the 
 Central Valley or elsewhere in CA and want to build a carpool.\n\n“We 
 will be with the prisoners here in the courts, in the legislature, or out 
 in the community. We will use every venue available to us, until the 
 torture is ended.” -- Marie Levin of Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity 
 Coalition, sister of Hunger Striker Sitawa Jaama.\n\nPlease forward this 
 message widely!\n\nMore
