DESCRIPTION:July marks the 2nd anniversary of the Prisoner Hunger Strike that began 
 July 8, 2013 with over 30,000 CA prisoners and 100’s throughout the US, 
 protesting solitary confinement torture and abusive prison conditions. 
 \n\nCommunity organizations, families and loved ones of people in solitary, 
 and advocates across California are mobilizing a day of Statewide 
 Coordinated Actions to End Solitary Confinement each month. These 
 mobilizations are a response to a proposal from prisoners in Pelican Bay 
 State Prison involved in the 2011 and 2013 Hunger Strikes, who put forward 
 the idea of designating a day each month as Prisoner’s Rights Day. 
 \n\n“Our outside supporters have all of our gratitude; their tireless 
 efforts supportive of our cause make a giant positive difference,” says 
 Todd Ashker, a prisoner who has been in solitary at Pelican Bay State 
 Prison for two decades, and a lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit 
 against California for the use of solitary confinement. “They have 
 recently begun monthly supportive actions---across the state---publicly 
 rallying on the 23rd of each month for the purpose of keeping the subject 
 of our endless torture in public view, and thereby exposed to the world. 
 The 23rd of each month is symbolic of our 23+ hours per day in these 
 tombs-of-the-living-dead---and it is hoped such rallies will spread across 
 the nation.”\n\n
