After receiving word that IWW member, Phillip Ruiz, was being held in prison beyond his release date without explanation, a phone zap was organized to pressure the Office of the Inspector General, the Office of Ombudsman, the Warden at Chino and Counselor Tovar to release him.

The phone zap, which took place on July 2nd, involved over 100 concerned community members from all over the U.S.

Today, we received word from IWW member Matt Hart that Phillip has been released and is now free and at home with loved ones. Phillip told Matt that the phone bank is what triggered the release, proving that ACTION DOES WORK!
