Oso Blanco, who is currently
serving 80 years in prison for robbing banks for money to support the
Zapatista Rebellion, recently developed a cancer in his liver and
required letters to be written demanding treatment. The letters were
effective in calling the attention of the prison staff to Oso’s
condition and granting him medical treatment. Now, we have received a
request for more letters to be written to urge for the doctor’s
recommendations to be followed up on.
A message from Flint Gray of
osoblanco.org said:
‘We are calling for everyone to
write Oso Blanco a get well card anytime the first week of August
(1st-7th)…This helps a few ways.
* Raises Oso’s spirit
* Shows prison staff we haven’t
forgotten about him not receiving proper medical tests for his ailing
liver.
* Will hopefully STOP the
prison from holding mail from Oso which has happened since our
call-in/letter campaign.
* And most importantly, we need
to make sure Oso (& the staff) hears the doc’s recommendations….
Soooo, get a card or better yet
make one and write whatever you want on it – what you did today, draw a
picture or just sign your name – but please please please also include
something along these lines:
“It is my hope that you receive
an an alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) blood test that helps to screen for liver
cancer risk and a Hepatitis C
viral load (quantitative) blood test that lets us know how much actual
virus is in your body. I also hope you get an adequate ultrasound of
your liver and can see the results.”‘
Please write to Oso Blanco at:

You must have a return address
