Support prisoners on hunger strike with Overpass Light Brigade

Several prisoners at Waupun, Columbia, & Green Bay Correctional Institution in WI have been on a hunger strike to demand the end of long term solitary confinement. The Department of Corrections (DOC) has responded with the torturous practice of force-feeding them. More information about this campaign can be found here: http://solitarytorture.blogspot.com/

On Thursday, at 9 PM, Overpass Light Briagde and Milwaukee IWW are asking supporters to gather outside the DOC building in Milwaukee (6th & Wells). From there, people will go nearby to participate in an OLB action to hold a message of support for the prisoners on hunger strike. Please join us!

Prisoner Protest Update and Phil Wilayto on Bradley Foundation
First we have updates on the Wisconsin prisoners refusing food to protest solitary confinement. Then Phil Wilayto, current editor of the Virginia Defender, and a formerly Milwaukee-based activist who literally wrote the book on the Bradley Foundation, comes on to tell us what he knows about their right-wing goals and methods.
