California sucsesful at uniting black, latino, white and supremest groups

[Jim Johnson]

An estimated 30,000 inmates in 33 jails launched the hunger strike on 8 June, the biggest in the state's history, to protest against solitary confinement and other conditions they said amounted to torture.

California's governor, Jerry Brown, has gone on vacation, denting hopes of a quick resolution to a protest which has united black, Latino and white inmates, including members of racist gangs.

Reminds me of The Watchmen, the graphic novel; not the movie version. (but both were great!)
