DESCRIPTION:Reel Work May Day Labor Film Festival: Together to End 
 Solitary\n\nDocumentary Film: Solitary: Inside Red Onion State 
 Prison\nKristi Jacobson, 2016, 82 min, USA\n\nWith unprecedented access 
 over the course of one year, director Kristi Jacobson offers a revealing 
 and moving portrait of life inside solitary confinement.\n\nSpeaker: 
 Dolores Canales  \n\nDolores Canales, Organizer, has become a strong and 
 compassionate advocate and spokesperson for incarcerated peoples and their 
 families. Dolores is a member of the National Council for Formerly 
 Incarcerated & Incarcerated Women & Girls and was instrumental in 
 co-founding California Families Against Solitary Confinement (CFASC), a 
 collective of family members that rose in protest of California’s 
 conditions of confinement in Security Housing Units (SHU).  In 2013 Dolores 
 received the Family Unity Award by Legal Services for Prisoners with 
 Children (LSPC), and in 2014 she was awarded the Soros Justice Fellowship 
 for the Family Unity Network (FUN).\n\nEvent Host: Together to End 
 Solitary, Santa Cruz\n\nCo-sponsors: ACLU-NC, Santa Cruz County Chapter; 
 Peace and Freedom Party, Santa Cruz County; Temple Beth El; Veterans for 
 Peace, Santa Cruz; Santa Cruz Live Oak Grange\n\n85-90% of people in CA 
 Security Housing Units (SHUs-solitary) are people of color.\n\nFrom 
 2011-2013, the CA Prisoner Human Rights Movement carried out 3 Hunger 
 Strikes against solitary confinement and prison abuses & for their 
 constitutional and human rights.\n\nAfter the 2012 Agreement to End 
 Hostilities across racial/ethnic and geographic lines, over 30,000 CA 
 prisoners and 100’s nationwide joined the 2013 Hunger Strike. Over 100 
 people were on Hunger Strike for 60 days.\n\nOn Sept.1, 2015, the 
 prisoner-led class action lawsuit Ashker V. Governor Brown successfully 
 settled.\n\nOver 2500 people have been released from SHU to general 
 population in CA prisons, and the Agreement to End Hostilities has greatly 
 decreased violence among people incarcerated in CA.\n\nNow people in CA 
 solitary units are being awakened every 30 minutes night and day. \n\nEnd
