Protest Davis' illegal parole policy!!!!


On Tuesday, AUGUST 20, 2002 there will be a statewide protest in four
cities against Gray Davis' illegal parole policy. Davis refuses to release
women survivors of domestic violence who have received parole dates from the
Parole Board (appointed by the Governor). Most recently Davis reversed the
parole recommendation for Maria Suarez. Suarez was sold to a 68 year old
rapist and batterer for $200 when she was only 16 years old and has served
21 years in prison for a crime she did not commit. Recent court decisions
have ruled that Davis and the Parole Board are violating the law by not
releasing both women and men prisoners who are eligible for parole. We must
let Davis know we will not let this continue!


RELEASE BATTERED WOMEN PRISONERS NOW!
END THE ILLEGAL NO-PAROLE POLICY!


Protests will occur at Davis offices in San Francisco, Sacramento, Los
Angeles and San Diego. Hundreds of letters of protest will be presented to
each office. Current info for various locations as follows (updates to
come).
