5,000 march on banks in San Francisco



Where is the "Media" coverage? Seems it's covering corporate asses.



Kudos to Green 960 AM in San Francisco. Journalistic integrity is not lost.

Day 3 of Historic Prison Strike in Georgia-Blacked out By Media

From: Hip Hop and Politics

On Thursday morning, December 9, 2010, thousands of Georgia prisoners refused to work, stopped all other activities and locked down in their cells in a peaceful protest for their human rights. The December 9 Strike became the biggest prisoner protest in the history of the United States. 

They set forth the following demands:
  • · A LIVING WAGE FOR WORK
  • · EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
  • · DECENT HEALTH CARE
  • · AN END TO CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENTS
  • · DECENT LIVING CONDITIONS
  • · NUTRITIONAL MEALS
  • · VOCATIONAL AND SELF-IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
  • · ACCESS TO FAMILIES
  • · JUST PAROLE DECISIONS


Two comments:

1) Not surprising. Don't want to give anyone the idea that prisoners are regular human beings.

2) To the Prisoners: Can you get those conditions met for all the proles on the outside too? We seem to be needing some of the same things.
