The activists still in jail have been subjected to inhumane treatment, including lockdowns under harsh conditions, multiple strip-searches of the women, the parading of women prisoners in front of the men, etc. We are also protesting the unjust and arbitrary arrests of activists. We are asking you to call the mayor, city hall and the attorneys to ask them to accept the imprisoned activists' plea bargain, and release them as soon as possible. Here are the phone numbers:

Mayor: 213 847-3634

City Hall: 213 485-2121

City Attorney: 213 485-5408

District Attorney: 213 974-3511
