DESCRIPTION:This and the Oakland event will be informational demonstrations.  
 \n\n\nSTOP THE TORTURE! \n\nThe Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity Coalition 
 (PHSS) helped launch Statewide Coordinated Actions To End Solitary 
 Confinement (SCATESC) on March 23rd, 2015.   These actions will continue on 
 the 23rd of each month. \n\nThe date emphasizes the 23 or more hours every 
 day that people in solitary confinement are kept in tiny concrete-and-steel 
 cages.  \n\nPHSS Facebook Event Page:

 \n\nStatewide Coordinated Actions respond to the Pelican Bay Hunger 
 Strikers’ Proposals (November, 2013). They stated: \n\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\nThe coordinated actions acknowledge the 
 importance of organized, community-based pressure as a core strategy (along 
 with courts and legislators) of our work outside the walls to end solitary 
 confinement. \n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2015/04/20/18771350.php
