Rally for Prisoner Releases RESCHEDULED

***Friday, December 19th 2008, 8:30 AM***

Where: 450 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco between Larkin and Polk at the Northern California District Court*

End Overcrowding and Release Eligible Prisoners Now!*

We had originally planned to have a rally outside of court on Tuesday December 16th, but found out today that court will only be in session this Thursday and Friday, the last two days of these historic hearings. This is our last chance to bring the voices of our loved ones inside out and demand an end to the torture and cruelty in California prisons created by unconstitutional overcrowding.

Please come out *this Friday December 19th at 8:30 AM* and join us in demanding the release of eligible lifers, low-risk aging prisoners, domestic violence survivors, and medically incapacitated prisoners NOW!
