liberate our elders
THE campaign
The Liberate Our Elders campaign seeks to expose and spotlight the truth that California is guilty of holding our Elder Political Prisoners subjected to decades of state sanctioned cruel and unusual punishment by indeterminant sentencing equaling civil death, torture of long-term solitary confinement and California Department of Corrections and rehabilitation’s (CDCr) dehumanizing tactics, used to also punish the families and loved ones suffering alongside them.
​
To add insult to injury, these Elders are being subjected to a potential death through medical abuse and neglect, and continued unjust captivity through parole denials.
This campaign will introduce you to those New Afrikan Elders who organized and participated in the historic California Hunger Strikes, created and continue to practice Black August and are the authors of the Agreement to End Hostilities.
