6,000 Prisoners Resume Hunger Strike in California
Infoshop News (September 28, 2011) – People being imprisoned in California prisons have resumed a hunger strike which initially happened last July. The expansion of draconian state measures against Californians has led to overcrowding and other terrible conditions in California’s incarceration facilities.
Round 2, Day 3: Strike Spreads Rapidly, At least 6,000 prisoners resume strike
Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity – Today (9/28/11) lawyers & mediators of Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity’s mediation team confirm that at least 6,000 prisoners throughout CA are resuming the hunger strike that originally began in July. The CDCR refuses to release where prisoners are striking exactly, and how many prisoners are striking at each prison. We know that hundreds of prisoners in the General Population at Calipatria are joining the hunger strike for one week in solidarity with 200 hunger strikers in Calipatria’s two Administrative Segregation Units (Ad-Seg & ASU), bringing Calipatria’s numbers up to 500-1,000 hunger strikers.
On September 27th, 2011, we marched on the Financial District’s Luxury Night Out, where couples wore outfits that cost more than
we will ever make in a month and looked at cars that cost more than we will ever make in a year, afterward, they went back to one of their many houses that cost more than we will make in our lifetime.
Occupied Boston doesn’t need a bullhorn to have their voices heard. They have the people’s microphone.
So does Michael Moore, who addressed us tonight.
Occupied San Francisco grows larger every day.
Occupied Chicago was dispersed but not defeated. They will regroup and reoccupy.

a few prosper..billions suffer
Anyone with eyes open knows that the gangsterism of Wall Street — financial institutions generally — has caused severe damage to the people of the United States (and the world)
. And should also know that it has been doing so increasingly for over 30 years, as their power in the economy has radically increased, and with it their political power. That has set in motion a vicious cycle that has concentrated immense wealth, and with it political power, in a tiny sector of the population, a fraction of 1%, while the rest increasingly become what is sometimes called “a precariat” — seeking to survive in a precarious existence. They also carry out these ugly activities with almost complete impunity — not only too big to fail, but also “too big to jail.”
The courageous and honorable protests underway in Wall Street should serve to bring this calamity to public attention, and to lead to dedicated efforts to overcome it and set the society on a more healthy course.
“Aquest matí a les 8 del mati 5 furgonetes de antidisturbis i Guardia Urbana han aparegut davant del número 28 del c/Marin per desallotjar una familia que vivia des de feia anys en un pis okupat per desesperació. Sense previ avís judicial, sense respectar el dret a defensar-se han desallotjat la familia amb una violència inaudita. 500×20 creu que les poders fàctics estan generalitzant el desnonament sense avís per evitar la defensa que fan de les famílies les organitzacions pel dret a l’habitatge.

Bolivian President Evo Morales has suspended work on a highway being built in the Amazon, amid a national furore over the way opposition to the road has been handled.
On Sunday police fired tear gas and rounded up hundreds of activists staging a march against the road.
A minister quit in protest and Mr Morales condemned the action when he announced the project’s suspension.
He now says he will allow local regions to decide on the future of the road.
“There needs to be a national debate so the two provinces [Cochabamba and Beni] involved in this can decide… In the meantime the project is suspended,” said Mr Morales, according to Reuters news agency.
He did not specify how the two provinces would decide, but on Sunday he said a referendum could be held – though government sources say this could take six months or more to organise.
The issue triggered anti-government protests in Cochabamba, Beni and La Paz – where thousands of protesters, mainly college students, gathered around the Quemado government palace.
