 \n\n__________________________________________\n\nThe Prisoner Hunger 
 Strike Solidarity Coalition (PHSS) has helped launch Statewide Coordinated 
 Actions To End Solitary Confinement (SCATESC) to start Monday, March 23, 
 2015.\n\nActions will happen on the 23rd of each month.\nThis date 
 emphasizes the 23 or more hours every day that people are kept in solitary 
 confinement.\n\nIn Santa Cruz, we have decided to hold this gathering on 
 the coast because so many people locked up in solitary confinement talk 
 about their desire to see and be near the ocean.\n\nStatewide Coordinated 
 Actions every month respond to the Pelican Bay Hunger Strikers’ Proposals 
 (November, 2013). They stated:\n“We want to consider the idea of 
 designating a certain date each month as Prisoner Rights Day. On that date 
 each month prisoners across the state would engage in peaceful activities 
 to call attention to prison conditions. At the same time our supporters 
 would gather in locations throughout California to expose CDCR’s [CA 
 Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation] actions and rally support 
 efforts to secure our rights. We can see this action growing from month to 
 month as more people inside and out become aware of it and join our 
 struggle.”\n\nCo-sponsors: Anti-Racist Action-LA; California Families
