Submitted by pirate on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 20:55

On Friday Feb. 12, 2010, a small group of people braved the rain to remember the Olympia Pizza Time Strike of 2005. Pizza strike supporters held a banner at 4th and Jefferson streets demanding a “Living Wage, Health Care, Retirement, Paid Vacation, Sick Days… For All.” People who drove and walked by the banner generally agreed with it, while one guy said “go to Canada!” Participants noted that working conditions haven’t improved since the strike and lock-out happened five years ago.

Daniel Wilson is currently being held in the Thurston County Jail in Olympia, WA without access to vegan food.  Daniel has attempted to obtain the food he needs only to be told that he wasn't malnourished or sick enough yet, despite having lost over 20 pounds in 19 days.  Some of Daniel's friends have called the jail to request that he recieve vegan food, which has led to the jail threatening to punish him.  However, Daniel has requested that people do not stop calling the jail, but instead continue to flood the phone lines in hopes that the jail will cede to pressure.  Daniel is being charged with various misdemeanors related to the 2008 May Day riot in Olympia and for allegedly vandalizing a pro-life group's vehicle later in the year.
