[Ppnews] SF Rally Against Prison Overcrowding on Tuesday, Nov. 18th

[Political Prisoner News]

NO ON PRISON OVERCROWDING!  RELEASE ELIGIBLE PRISONERS NOW!

RALLY AND PRESS CONFERENCE

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18th, 8:30 a.m.

United States District Court for the Northern District of California

450 Golden Gate Avenue, between Larkin and Polk in San Francisco



On Tuesday, November 18th a Federal three-judge panel will meet in 
San Francisco to deal with the continuing issue of prison 
overcrowding. California's prisons are over 150% capacity.  We need 
to let them know that the only solution to prison overcrowding is 
prisoner release!



The overwhelming defeat of Proposition 6 sent a strong message that 
the public does not want to spend millions of more dollars on a 
failed prison system.  Proposition 9 passed, but only due to a 
well-funded media campaign filled with misleading 
information.  Unless we challenge Prop 9 now, prisoners will be 
incarcerated well beyond their mandated sentences.  Join family 
members, friends and advocates for people in California's prisons to demand:

PAROLE ELIGIBLE PRISONERS NOW!

RELEASE LOW-RISK AGING PRISONERS, INCARCERATED SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC 
VIOLENCE, AND MEDICALLY INCAPACITATED PRISONERS!

STOP THE CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT OF PEOPLE IN PRISON!

INVEST IN COMMUNITIES NOT IN PRISONS!
