August 1 was a day of action initiated by World Can't Wait and taken up by the Prison Hunger Strike Solidarity Coalition, calling for people of conscience everywhere to act to support and respect the prisoners at Pelican Bay State Prison and other prisons all around California. The prisoners' courageous 20-day hunger strike in July successfully challenged the inhumane conditions of the Security Housing Units [SHU] in the eyes of the world. It spread to thousands of prisoners in at least 13 CA prisons. It hauled into the light of day decades of inhumane torture and abuse going on behind the prison walls. These prisoners have inspired people's support far and wide.

Our two demands: the CDCR (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation) must fully meet the hunger strike's five demands, and there must be no retaliation for the hunger strike against any prisoners, their families and advocates, or their attorneys.

Prisoners are human beings! They deserve the human rights and civil rights demanded by their very humanity -- and by ours outside the prison walls too, wherever we may be.
