Join Witness Against Torture's Days of Action in D.C. June 22-25 2011

CALL TO ACTION – JOIN US ON JUNE 22-25, 2011

We must continue to speak and act against the ongoing crime of Guantanamo!

We walk in shame and grief and anger.

We walk mindful of broken promises, hollow words, and bankrupt institutions.

We walk for men torn from their families and homelands, tortured and abused by this nation, still detained without charge or trial after all these years.
