We, the community of writers, artists, contributors and readers outside and behind the walls, collectively condemn the ongoing attacks, censorship and banning of our San Francisco Bay View National Black Newspaper. For many years, officials in several prison systems, including the state of California, have from time to time taken away our incarcerated family members’ “freedom of speech” and rights to information, education, communication and connection with our broader community by denying them their Bay Views. Defend and support our San Francisco Bay View National Black Newspaper!

Letters written by prisoners since the hunger strike began are arriving at the Bay View. Here are two from New Folsom in Sacramento. On July 8, 2013, all affiliates of all races once again stood together in solidarity for a common cause. CSP-Sac is imposing underground and illegal methods of discipline for participating in the peaceful protest, and we need these corrupt acts to be exposed.

The prison system and the SHU is not going to shut down anytime soon. So we will have to be more realistic and pragmatic in our approach to addressing the mental health of prisoners. We can start off as prisoners by pledging we’ll not become collaborators with the CDCR in their endeavor to assault our sanity!
