Come out in support of striking prisoners at Central Nova Correctional Facility in Burnside! Prisoners have been striking since August 19th demanding basic, humane treatment for their rehabilitation, including adequate health care, nutritious food, and access to a library.

We will convene in front of the Department of Justice on Hollis st. and proceed to the provincial court house on Spring Garden Rd. Leaflets and talking points will be provided.
