Ensure the strikers are treated properly by staff. Ask the Prison Law Office to do their job and file a motion to Judge Henderson to make sure the Inspector General and the Prison Medical overseer/monitor is here at S.Q.S.P. from July 1 until the conclusion of the hunger strike. They should be here to make sure there is no abuse, that no medical records or weight-scale tampering is conducted by medical or prison staff and no retaliation would be moving them, removing all liquids (coffee, tea, etc), withholding mail or medication and all other property from their cells. You can also ask Judge Henderson to get involved. Ask Dem. State Senators and Assembly members to exercise their right as state legislators to oversee S.Q.S.P. medical and prison staff during the hunger strike. Ask the office of the Inspector General to be here for the reasons mentioned above. Get Governor Brown involved and inform the media of our hunger strike.

You can also call the prison, e-mail them or any of these places consistently. Until we have finally announced we are off. Which will be addressed by our lawyers. Your support will put pressure on the prison to comply with our reasonable requests. Thank you. 

Sample script:

Hi, I´m______________________and I´m calling/writing/e-mailing about the state wide prisoners hunger strike, more specifically the Death Row Adjustment Center strikers. I support the prisoners and their reasonable 10 core demands. I am alarmed by your (or CDCRs) refusal to comply, intervene and implement these demands. By your refusal to intervene as the prisoners´medical conditions are rapidly deteriorating. I urge you to make sure the demands are implemented for all condemned S.H.U./ad-seg, CDCR prisoners in California immediately. They may be on death row, they may have done wrongs for which they pay with their physical freedom, yet they are human beings nevertheless. Deserving of human rights and dignity. To be free from long-term isolation and program deprivation.
