The Bay View newspaper, a reliable source of hard hitting reporting and a much-requested item in prisons across the country, is undergoing a series of official and unofficial bannings as prison strike activism continues.

You can read more here.

Official banning notices have been issued at Folsom and Lancaster prisons in California, Menard prison in Illinois and the entire penal system of Pennsylvania.

You can support the distribution of the national black newspaper generated here in our Bay Area hometown – with no restrictions – by signing this Roots Action national petition.

And you should.
