Governor Brown's Office: <tel:%28916%29%20445-2841>(916) 445-2841 Sample Script: "Hi my name is _________. I'm calling about the statewide prisoner hunger strike that resumed on Sept 26th. I support the prisoners & their reasonable "five core demands." I am alarmed by the CDCR's refusal to implement these demands and by your refusal to intervene as the hunger strikers' medical conditions are rapidly deteriorating. I urge you to make sure the demands are implemented for all SHU-status prisoners in CA immediately and in good faith before anyone dies. I also urge you to lift the CDCR's ban on lawyers from the prisoners' mediation team, and ensure the CDCR ceases all retaliation on the hunger strikers. Thank you." Thank you for your continued support.
