Sitawa  Nantambu Jamaa

DURING SITAWA’S 43 YEARS IN PRISON, HE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO PROMOTE NONVIOLENCE, REHABILITATION, AND RACIAL SOLIDARITY AND JUSTICE WITHIN CDCR.

THROUGH WRITTEN ADVOCACY, ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS, HUNGER STRIKES, AND FORMAL LITIGATION, SITAWA DEDICATED HIMSELF TO DISMANTLING PRISON VIOLENCE.

EVEN THOUGH HIS ADVOCACY REPEATEDLY COST HIM HIS FREEDOM – AND AT TIMES, NEARLY HIS LIFE – HIS DEVOTION TO JUSTICE REMAINS UNCEASING.

NOW, AFTER 43 YEARS, SITAWA FINALLY CAME HOME FEBRUARY 14, 2024.
