DESCRIPTION:ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH people across Oakland, the Bay Area, and 
 Northern California in general, will converge in Downtown Oakland and rally 
 and march in solidarity with the US wide prison work strike against prison 
 slavery. \n\nSlavery is legal in America. Written into the 13th Admendment, 
 it is legal to work someone that is incarcerated for free or almost free. 
 Since the civil war, tens of millions of people most arrested for 
 non-violent offenses, have been used as slaves for the sake of generating 
 massive profits for multi-national corporations and the US government. 
 Today, prison labor is a multi-billion dollar industry which helps generate 
 enormous wealth for key industries such as fossil fuels, fast food, 
 telecommunications, technology, the US military, and everyday house hold 
 products. \n\nThe strike, which starts officially on September 9th, the 
 45th anniversary of the Attica Uprising, is historic. The strike is being 
 led by groups such as the Free Alabama Movement, Free Texas Movement, Free 
 Ohio Movement, Free Virginia Movement, Free Mississippi Movement, and many 
 more. Prisoners have asked that supporters hold noise demonstrations 
 outside jails and prisons, protest, disrupt, and demonstrate outside of 
 corporations that profit from prison labor, and also support the strike 
 that is happening across the US. \n\nThis is not just a prison strike for 
 better wages or conditions, it is a strike against white supremacy itself. 
 \n\nBring banners, signs, noise makers, friends, co-workers, neighbors, 
 family members, and more! Gather at Latham Square next to OGP (Broadway and 
 Telegraph Ave), 1pm. Also, be sure to join us the day before at our BBQ 
 which will feature banner making, a film showing, and open discussion about 
 the strike. See more info on that here:
