Open Letter to the Occupy Movement

Ohio prisoners are talking about Occupy4Prisoners a lot recently. They, and some of us on the outside really want to see more coordinated protests and actions in the future. Not just a token day, but a part to play in solidarity with whatever social movements are erupting and challenging power anywhere in the country. May day? The anniversary of OWS? Why shouldn't these also be Occupy for Prisoners day?
If you think prisons are a side-issue and the real problem is the banks or the housing bubble or inequality or something like that, then I urge you to please read the following as well as the OSP hunger strike press releases and these other things we've put out recently. All come from the pens and typewriters of Ohio prisoners. All show us what we all have in common. All contain valuable wisdom for the movement. These prisoners all show a commitment to struggle that anyone seeking any kind of change in america would be a fool to ignore.
