Anti-Prison Actions Spread in New York and Wisconsin

From Support Prisoner Resistance 

Prisoner supporters across the country are keeping up the pressure on prisons!

In New York people gathered for a fundraiser on the 3rd, and a noise demonstration on the fourth. They gathered outside a federal prison in Brooklyn which houses federal pretrial, federal sentenced, and a lot of immigration cases. Also at this prison are a number of the 120 people arrested during a raid of public housing project in the Bronx a couple of months ago.
“Outside we chanted “brick by brick, wall by wall, we will make this prison fall” and inside, over the fence, we saw fists raised and heard others banging on their cell windows.”

‪The demo was co-organized by mothers and organizers up in the bx at the houses, Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee (IWOC), and Anarchist Black Cross.  Here is video and pictures, from the facebook event.

In Wisconsin, folks turned out lots of solidarity for their comrades on hunger strike. They held banners over the freeway all week, and spent from 8 am to 1 pm at busy intersections outside the WI DOC central office, creating a very visible presence, then they delivered a letter, including new rules for solitary confinement, written by the hunger strikers, as a way to move toward resolution.
