 WE DEMAND REPATRIATIONS TO BUILD OUR NATION AWAY FROM THE HANDS OF OPPRESSORS! Separation from the oppressors is not just an Agenda we must have in America but it must be a Pan African accomplishment .  There are 2 Pandemics that face Africanus Humanus   of the world, White Supremacy and COVID-19. Repatriation is a demand it is not a request! Vukulu Sizwe Maphindani : It is healthy and necessary to be enraged about the effects of white supremacy.   National ‘failure’

“Beginning July 1, CDCR will implement a community supervision program for eligible offenders who have 180 days or less to serve and a place to safely shel- ter during this unprecedented global pandemic,” the CDCR said in a statement emailed to Al Jazeera.

The CDCR, which said it has taken “significant action” to provide healthcare and address the out- break, expects 80 inmates to be released from San Quentin before July 1 as part of the pro- gramme.

King said the Ella Baker Center is calling on the CDCR and California Governor Gavin Newsom to do more, including issuing reprieves to elderly inmates like 79-year-old Fred Cole, who will not be eligible for parole until 2029 but is “not a threat to anyone and hasn’t been in a long time”.

Newsom said on June 25 that he hopes to expedite the release of low-risk inmates and state courts are reviewing the cases of about 3,500 inmates in the state prison system who could be released.

There is anecdotal evidence in California that prison releases could help stave outbreaks, Jeff Chorney, a deputy public defender for Alameda County in the Bay area, told Al Jazeera. By Creede Newton
