Corcoran hunger strike protest update

The November 30 fast went well, about 300 prisoners joined me in the fast. The solidarity was awesome, I am currently educating the prison indeterminate SHU population on their legal rights and the importance of getting our families and friends involved in this struggle. That's looking positive. What I would like to do is organize a large demonstration in front of CDCR headquarters. At least 500 people consisting of our families, friends and supporting organizations like yourself. Making simple demands that are supported by law. The Department and Corcoran prison have a habit of disregarding black letter law. Their attitude is "we are above the law." Yet, they enforce the law when it's against us prisoners. So I feel a large demonstration with media support exposing their arbitrary decision making and abuse of authority will be extremely effective resulting in compliance with the mandate of law.
