March 23: HIP HOP FOR CHANGE and PHSS Event
- Please join Hip Hop for Change and Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity Coalition (PHSS) for an evening of powerful Spoken Word and discussion from 6pm to 9pm at the Niebyl-Proctor Library in Oakland, CA.
- This event is in solidarity with the CA prisoners who challenged the torture of solitary confinement and created the historic Agreement to End Hostilities. We hope to help cultivate strong community connections inside and outside prisons and grow community support in the prisoner class struggle. The work to end solitary confinement and create true social justice continues. Social justice does not include destroying lives, families and communities with incarceration, isolation, and torture.
- Right now we must stop the cruel Sleep Deprivation that began many months ago against people in solitary at Pelican Bay and CA Central Women’s Facility.
- Wednesday, March 23rd is a day of Statewide Coordinated Actions To End Solitary Confinement and, nationwide, groups are conducting actions as part of Together to End Solitary. This event in Oakland is connected to a nationwide momentum to end solitary confinement.
- Please share the Facebook event:
