The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has disappeared political prisoner Rashid Johnson, whom they were retaliating against for organizing fellow prisoners for improvements.

To ensure Rashid's safety, we are asking you to phone in to the TDCJ and ask for his whereabouts using this script.

Our friend Rashid is being retaliated against for his prison organizing. A shank was planted on him by guards, which can be confirmed by multiple witnesses. Join others in calling to demand that charges be dropped and his possessions be returned to him.

Stories from the Inside is produced by the Twin Cities Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee. It features stories from people inside Minnesota's prisons about what it's like to be there, how they're working to build power, and how prisons keep our whole society chained up. Let us know what you think at facebook.com/tciwoc.

The National Lawyers Guild is proud to support IWOC's Call to Action, and we hope you will join us in lending your support to incarcerated organizers. As part of our 2015 Resolution Supporting the Abolition of Prisons, the NLG is committed to working towards a world in which prisons are obsolete. This work includes supporting the rights and organizing of prisoners, including calls to support their strategies and demands.
