Comrade Rashid in Imminent Danger at Pendleton Correctional Facility

***URGENT CALL TO ACTION! PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!***

 Just got off of the phone with Rashid and he still has not received his property or the remainder of his life-sustaining medication.  He hasn’t had all of his medication since the incident where he was forced to defend himself that occurred on 08.25.2020.  This alone is enough but what has me the most concerned is that he stated there are other recent developments in his current situation that he did not feel comfortable sharing with me over the phone as the calls are heavily monitored and recorded.

 He did state emphatically that at this point IDOC and the staff at Pendleton Correctional Facility are actively trying to kill him. These were his exact words. I am fearful for the safety of my comrade and partner and am asking everyone to please call and email! The prison and corrections staff must know that we are watching and there will be a serious consequence to pay should anything happen to Kevin Rashid Johnson while in their custody and care.

 Officers A. Long and R. Cochoran have been central figures in the continued racist attacks against Rashid and the racially motivated STG label that was attached to him and his political party.  We are asking that calls and emails be made to everyone but correspondence to Dennis Reagle (warden) and Joseph Walter’s (Interstate Compact Admin VADOC) should increase.  I am including their contact information below. If you have media contacts or resources that can assist us in this fight, then I ask that you please contact me.  Day or night. I don’t care the time.  We must protect and fiercely defend our political prisoners.

 Dare to Struggle Dare to Win!
