Thousands Fast 4 Freedom in Communities
Inside and Outside the Prison Walls!
WHAT: Fast 4 Freedom – Families and Friends of the incarcerated, along with prisoners within prison walls and several Prison Reform groups will fast for one day to shed light and spread awareness of the pervasive injustices within the State of California.
WHERE: ALL 33 California State Prisons and various communities throughout the state.
WHEN: Friday, August 6th – all day fast. Actions will take place at 5 locations throughout the state and are scheduled to begin at 11:00 / 11:30 AM.
WHY: Because so many are being held behind bars for a long, long time, for nothing more than California’s overzealous, insatiable appetite to over criminalize, over incarcerate and over feed the prison industrial complex. Thousands upon thousands are starving for FREEDOM! Some of the issues being highlighted are: Three Strikes, Indeterminate Life Sentences, Juvenile LWOP, Lifer and Parole Issues, Education vs. Incarceration
