On September 9th, the 45th anniversary of the Attica uprising, thousands of prisoners took action in more than 40 facilities across the country as part of a national strike to demand their rights as workers and humans.
The fight against legal caging and murder is not new, and continues. Two death penalty propositions on the November 2016 California ballot are stirring debates about capital punishment. It’s undeniable that capital punishment targets the poor, is racist, kills innocent people, is cruel and unusual, and doesn’t deter crime.

The ISO has been fighting against the death penalty for over 20 years. Come hear more about the lessons and arguments from past struggles while putting a human face on the ongoing fight to save the more than 725 men and 20 women on California’s death row.
