<p>Dear Progressives:</p>
<p>I call upon all those who identify themselves as progressive to
recognize the U.S. prison system is an institution generally operated by
white supremacists. This has been my experience in both California and
New York State prison systems. In fact, on Dec. 4 and 5, 2016, the New
York Times published a two-day expose informing the public that the NYS
prison system is run by white racists. However, among the many prison
systems that function as a bastion of white supremacy, Lucasville, Ohio,
is one of the worst in the country.</p>
<p>It is under these conditions that Kevin Rashid Johnson, a staunch
advocate for the abolition of prisons, is presently being threatened
with the loss of his life. Being held in 23-hour lockdown, Rashid is now
in the worst condition of his life, locked away in a system of rabid
racists who hate him for being a New Afrikan, a brilliant artist and a
revolutionary – anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist. Since being
transferred to Lucasville, Rashid has been threatened, his personal
property damaged and/or not given to him, and he must constantly be
vigilant to avoid being assaulted or murdered either by prison guards or
their flunkies who mindlessly function as tools of white supremacy.</p>

<p>I am petitioning the entire progressive community to unite, to band together and say to the world: <strong>We will not permit Lucasville to murder Kevin Rashid Johnson.</strong></p>
<p>I am asking every single one of you to call Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and
demand Rashid be immediately transferred out of the notorious
Lucasville prison. I ask that all of you contact the major Ohio
newspapers and news outlets and urge them to find out why Kevin Rashid
Johnson’s life is being threatened. </p>
<p>We, collectively, need to shine a spotlight on Kevin Rashid Johnson,
and let all know Rashid belongs to the people, that progressive people
around the world support him and refuse to sit idle and let Rashid be
murdered in Lucasville, Ohio!</p>
<p>Remember: We Are Our Own Liberators!</p>
<p><strong>To contact Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine: </strong>Call the governor’s office at <strong>614-466-3555</strong>. You will be prompted to go to his website to write out your message, at <a href="https://governor.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/governor/contact/contact-us">https://governor.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/governor/contact/contact-us</a>. Do that, but ALSO LEAVE A PHONE MESSAGE: <strong>Tell the governor to transfer Kevin Johnson, A787991, out of Lucasville Prison immediately before he is murdered! </strong></p>
