Michael Zaharibu Dorrough has impacted other people's lives positively

This is a letter by a friend of Zaharibu, and it shows how much positive influence he has had on the friend who is now trying to visit him.

Another friend of Zaharibu wrote: "We believe it is things of this nature which further prove the positive impact on people's lives that N.C.T.T. (NARN Collective Think Tank, the movement for positive change for people) Activists continue (and have always) have (had); while simultaneously debunking the lie that Zaharibu and his comrades inside of the N.C.T.T. are "gang members" or anything other than the progressive political activists which they are."

Foto This is page 2 of the letter of the friend of Zaharibu trying to visit him in prison. See how the prison authorities try to paint the wrong picture by keeping Zaharibu in the SHU as a "validated gang member"? He is not a "gang member." Michael Zaharibu Dorrough is a very mature, responsible human being with a huge amount of care for the world and its inhabitants.

Giving him a label of "gangster" and denying him visits is cruel and does not enhance the rehabilitation that CDCR is supposed to do.

Zaharibu has been in solitary confinement since more than 24 years. He is an example of why CDCR's STG policies have failed and are nothing more than cruel Nazi-laws.

One of my favorites...

Zaharibu sent this poem along with his letter in April, and he wrote underneath: "one of my favorites."

William Stafford: A Ritual to Read to Each Other

If you don't know the kind of person I am
and I don't know the kind of person you are
a pattern that others made may prevail in the world
and following the wrong god home we may miss our star.
