The Pennsylvania Solidarity Not Solitary campaign is excited to present the statewide screening of the documentary “The Strike”, followed by a discussion with some amazing leaders of the movement that the film details.  The documentary covers the hunger strike against solitary confinement that took place at Pelican Bay prison in California in 2013, and also follows some key characters from the strike since then—including our guests for the night, Dolores Canales and Jack Morris.

The PA SNS campaign works with Dolores and Jack and other CA leaders through the Unlock the Box network, and the hunger strike is a particularly useful example of inside-outside organizing against solitary. It’s a case study in alliance-building inside prisons as well as how effective organizing among family members and outside networks can be–overall a powerful lesson about how people power can win even against tall odds and limited political support.
