If you haven't heard yet, we have sad, bitter news. Another young man has died
inside a California Youth Authority prison. CYA staff found Dyron Brewer "unresponsive" in his cell at the Chad facility on Sunday, September 5 at about 3.45 am. Dyron was 24 years old. He was from Oakland. A lot of questions remain unanswered. How did Dyron die? Why does this keep happening? How can we stop this from ever happening again? * * * PROTEST THIS SUNDAY * * * This tragedy weighs heavy on all of our hearts. On Sunday, we are going with Dyron's family to Chad in Stockton, where Dyron died, We will show the guards, the administrators and state lawmakers that we will not stand for one more death.
