Don’t talk about it, be about it!
You “down” but don’t know how to plug in?
Get trained up and start helping the SRJ Hotline. Start taking calls from those inside Rita. Abolition requires a multitude of tactics. Centering prisoners is key.
Put in on this revolutionary movement. Become a Hotline Worker.

⚡💥⚡PHONE ZAP!⚡💥⚡
**Please share widely**

4 people on hunger strike, hundreds infected, thousands in danger. The largest prison in the state is seeing its second wave, and prisoners are being blamed and seeing more and more dehumanizing conditions. Call as many times as you can today, and make the jailers feel it!

Here's a script to help with your calls:
Hi my name is ______________ (you don’t have to give your real name). I want to know what your office intends to do about the COVID 19 outbreak happening in CSATF? A THIRD of the people tested are sick. Despite endless statewide demands people are still being kept in unsafe and meager conditions. And your guards and staff people are bringing in the virus, since there’s been no visits for several months. People in your facility are demanding 1) Universal and voluntary testing for everyone in your facility. Tell people their results immediately and let them plan for their safety. 2) Restore safe programing and basic necessities namely law library, access to telephones, showers, dormitory cleaning supplies, hot meals, and canteen. 3) Create mechanisms of accountability by which independent family and supporters on the outside have visibility on CDCr’s plans and actions during and after an outbreak like this.

Be sure and report back on your calls through twitter or insta!

Robert Abeyta got his CPAP machine! He can finally sleep. Thank you to everyone who phone-zapped for him!

THANK YOU for those solidarity phone zap calls last week. They helped! And still the jail is leaving their health in jeopardy in key ways:
-Robert Abeyta has been moved to the hospital wing. We HOPE he will receive a CPAP machine soon.
-Phillip Gipson has also been moved to the hospital wing and is receiving antibiotics for his infection. He still is NOT being assisted with diaper changing and this is extremely difficult.

Your calls had an impact!
Phil was moved to the OPHU (hospital wing) at 10AM on Friday morning. Phil now has a hospital bed and was provided with gauze for his bedsores. He has access to his pain medication and is on antibiotics for his kidney infection. Phil's fever is down and he now has access to a tablet to stay connected with his family. However, Phil still needs a higher level of care than what he is receiving. Santa Rita finally provided him with diapers, but told him that he must change them himself. This is extremely difficult for him and he has experienced life-threatening infections in the past due to the neglect of his bedsores. Phil should be home with his family, who know best what kind of care he needs.

Update on Phil's situation:
Thank you for making calls on Friday!
Phil has been assigned a public defender. He has a bail reduction hearing on Monday, 8/17 at 10:30AM at which he will hopefully be released to his family.
If you are interested in following Phil's case, you can tune in to the live-stream of the virtual hearing at:
