As the group approached the kid prison, we began yelling  \u201cour passion for freedom is stronger than their prisons\u201d and setting off  roman candles and smoke bombs. A banner was held up for those inside to  read that said \u201c<strong>STRIKE FOR FREEDOM<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bold initiative of <strong>the striking prisoners at Pelican Bay<\/strong> inspired  this action, along with <strong>those who have (inside and outside) continued  and amplified the strike<\/strong>. Also on our minds was yet another death in the  St. Louis city jails, this time caused by guards refusing to give a  dying <strong>Scott Perry<\/strong> his ulcer medication. His family has been having a  weekly presence outside the jail at the time of his death since he was  killed five weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most of all, our motivation for this action was the response we  received from inside the prison on New Years.<\/strong> The jumping, cheering  silhouettes of the locked-up youth had made it clear that despite all  the imposed isolation, we had shared a moment of clear communication.<\/p>\n<p>This time, two teenagers (who\u2019d seen us a few blocks from the prison  and asked what we were doing) decided to join us, saying that a friend  of theirs was currently inside the prison. The neon-glow of roman  candles bursting on the prison\u2019s brick surface was moving and the  over-all feel of the group seemed to be up-beat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Solidarity with Pelican Bay, Collins Bay and anyone who refuses the conditions of this prison society.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from anarchistnews: Shortly before midnight on July 8 around 35 of us gathered to hold a noise demonstration outside the Hogan Street Regional Youth Center, the same location as the New Years Eve noise demo seven months ago.
