Smash Prisons: 6000 on Hunger Strike

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.

A Message From Occupied Wall Street (Day Eleven)

Posted Sept. 28, 2011, 9:53 a.m. EST by OccupyWallSt

This is the eleventh communiqué from the 99 percent. We are occupying Wall Street. We will not be moved.

On September 27th, 2011, many friends participated in our democratic process.

General Assemblies are forming country-wide, worldwide. We are everywhere.

#occupyboston (Click Here for the flyer)

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.

So far at least 52 cities in America are occupied or organizing. We span at least three continents.

Add your home. Make your voice heard.

We are growing. Block by block – city by city. We will see change in this country, in this world.

It will happen sooner than you can imagine.

Noam Chomsky Announces Solidarity With #occupywallstreet

stop wall st — 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.

Policia attack 1000k marcha in Paris

(English) The Take the Streets march from Spain to Brussels was viciously attacked by hysterical police in Paris when they held an Assembly with local activists in front of the Paris Stock Exchange. There were more than 50 arrests (finally released) and serious injuries. Despite all they camped in front of the Exchange and continued the long march.

…………….A les 18:30 hores les indignades i indignats van seure costat de l’edifici de France Press, davant de la Borsa de París, i sense deixar-se intimidar pel dispositiu policial que els envoltava, van començar l’assemblea que s’ha retransmès íntegrament per internet via streaming. Segons aquesta avançava, van anar arribant cada vegada més ciutadans, al mateix temps que s’anava formant un cordó policial. Davant l’arrest d’un d’ells per identificar (el motiu esgrimit per l’agent: “és una manifestació il·legal”), un grup de indignats va resistir pacíficament demanant la posada en llibertat del company. Els gendarmes van acabar detenint a un grup de més de 50 persones, que han anat sent alliberats al llarg de la nit. No obstant això, a les 2:30 hores encara es trobaven detingudes 11 persones. Finalment, els altres integrants de la Marxa van poder acampar davant de la Borsa de París……………
