Dear Friends,
We received an important update from the hunger
strike leaders at Pelican Bay, dated July 24th.
Hunger Strike leader Todd Ashker says the
strikers are giving the CDCR of 2-3 weeks from
July 20th to come up with some substantive
changes in response to their five core demands.
If the CDCR does not follow through, prisoners at
Pelican Bay plan to go back on hunger strike. Todd writes:
"It's very important that our supporters know
where we stand, and that CDCR knows that we're
not going to go for any B.S. We remain as serious
about our stand now as we were at the start, and
mean what we said regarding an indefinite hunger
strike peaceful protest until our demands are
met. I repeat-we're simply giving CDCR a brief
grace period in response to their request for the
opportunity to get [it] right in a timely
fashion! We'll see where things stand soon enough!"
Supporters are urged to keep up pressure on the
CDCR and CA state legislators to meet the Hunger Striker's demands.
Please join us and support a statewide
mobilization to Sacramento on August 23rd for an
informational legislative hearing held by the CA
State Assembly's Public Safety Committee!
