Current Projects
In the work to
shut down Guantanamo, there is a part to be played by lawyers
and human rights advocates. What is the role of the citizen?
To stand up on behalf of the victims of the war on terrorism.
On January 11, many of us will do that through nonviolent
direct action, creatively challenging a system of laws that
offer no justice.
CALL TO
ACTION
We
declare January 11, 2007, five years after the first prisoners
arrived at Guantanamo, an International Day of Action to
Shut Down Guantanamo. In Washington, DC we will hold a permitted
march from the Supreme Court to the U.S. Federal Court;
some may risk arrest they attempt to submit Habeas petitions
on the behalf of the prisoners of Guantanamo. There will
also be solidarity demonstrations from Amsterdam to Boise,
Idaho and a National Call-In Day to Congress. We invite
you to come to Washington and participate, or else join
or plan an action in your own community.
