DESCRIPTION:SF Bay View National Black Newspaper Editor Malik Washington is being 
 severely retaliated against for releasing a public memo documenting a 
 preventable Covid outbreak at 111 Taylor, an enormous GEO Group owned 
 halfway house in San Francisco's Tenderloin District. The $2B+ for-profit 
 prison company stole his phone and put a gag order on him in what is the 
 most egregious attack on journalism and Malik's constitutional right to 
 freedom of speech. They are now threatening to send him back to jail, and 
 Malik has sued. For more information, see below

 an excellent documentary exposé on the atrocious, dehumanizing conditions 
 at 111 Taylor St, please view the 11- minute documentary put forth by SF 
 Public Defender's The Adachi Project : 
 https://wearedefender.com/111-taylor\n\nGeo Group is fighting Malik, but 
 they are also currently litigating against AB 32, which would ban private 
 detention facilities in California, arguing that they would lose $15M per 
 year in revenue, with a large portion coming from caging our siblings in 
 abusive ICE Detention Facilities across the state. Well we say NO to 
 PUTTING PROFITS OVER PEOPLE EVERY SINGLE TIME! For-profit prison companies 
 have no place in California or anywhere!\n\nJoin us for a masked up, 
 socially distanced rally at 111 Taylor Street, SF from 12-2pm on Sunday, 
 March 7th to demand Malik Washington's freedom, to stop the attack on black 
 journalism, and to shout to the rooftops : GEO Group - get out of 
 California!\n\nThis rally is being organized by the Malik Washington 
 Defense Committee. To donate to his legal fees and to support Black, 
 radical journalism, please donate here :
