Two weeks ago we ran a story on Romaine "Chip" Fitzgerald, a political prisoner and former Black Panther imprisoned forty years in California. Fitzgerald was refusing food and demanding transfer out of solitary confinement and full access to medical care. We asked BAR readers and supporters to join those calling the prison and California elected officials, and inquire about Fitzgerald's condition.
