Close Guantánamo

January 11, 2002 marked the arrival of the first prisoners to Guantánamo Bay. Six years later, we acknowledged this anniversary by joining activists across the country in calling for the official and permanent end to the controversial facility and its un-Constitutional practices.

For more information and tips on what you can do, please see the ACLU’s page about the prison. You can also print or email their factsheet and talking points, which is what we handed out at the A.C. Lounge and The Ould Sod last night. (The bad news is, we didn’t get to dance because the floor was too packed. The good news is, we formed a conga line and got the word out anyway!)
