DESCRIPTION:Santa Cruz-Statewide Coordinated Actions To End Solitary Confinement 
 (Thurs. June 23, 2016 and 23rd of every month, 12-2 pm, outreach & rally) 
 \ncorner of Pacific Ave. and Cooper St. (gps 110 Cooper St., Santa Cruz, CA 
 95060) \n\n11:30 am - set up\n12 noon – signs and outreach. Sign letters 
 opposing sleep deprivation torture of people locked up in CA solitary 
 units. Get involved in the movement to end solitary confinement and mass 
 incarceration. \n12:30-2:00 pm - rally & speak-out. \n\nReaders’ Theater: 
 We will read the voices of people \n· currently and formerly locked up in 
 solitary confinement (including youth in “room confinement”) \n· being 
 awakened by guards every 30 - 60 minutes day and night in CA solitary 
 confinement units:\n* in Central CA Women’s Facility Administrative 
 Segregation death row since May 18, 2014\n* in Pelican Bay Security Housing 
 Unit (SHU) since August 2, 2015\n\nThe California prisoners’ 2012 
 Agreement to End Hostilities between racial/ethnic and geographic groups 
 made possible the CA Prisoner Hunger Strike of 2013 by over 30,000 CA 
 prisoners and 100's more nationwide. Prisoners' human rights organizing has 
 built a powerful movement and led to the historic 2015 settlement ending 
 indefinite solitary confinement in CA. It appears CDCR is attempting to 
 prevent effective human rights work by prisoners in solitary by instituting 
 a debilitating and internationally-condemned torture technique: sleep 
 deprivation. \n\nEmail officials to STOP the “security/welfare checks"

 the sleep deprivation torture. Sample letter here
