On Sunday, October 9th, join us at Mosswood Park near the ampitheater for a benefit BBQ and open discussion and update on the unfolding prison strike and how to support prison rebels in California. Organizers will discuss the September 9th strike, what has happened in the US and across the country, and talk about the situation in Merced county jails which joined the prison strike on the 9th giving a list of demands to the guards who proceeded to put the facilities on lock down. In response, the inmates went on hunger strike in protest of horrible conditions, brutal guards, and lack of access to basic food, programs, and legal services.
Bring drinks and/or a dish to share and come hungry. Donations will be collected that will go towards the Merced hunger strikers which will help them stay in contact with their loved ones and outside organizers.
Lastly, this BBQ is being organized to build support for a caravan to Merced happening the following week that will work to build bridges between the bay area and the central valley and hold a solidarity demonstration.
