This is not a protest or a rally, but an opportunity to make our decision to WEAR ORANGE to protest Guantánamo Bay, indefinite detention, and torture visible to a large audience. We plan to stand respectfully – without signs, chanting or protest – in the Today Show audience. We want everyone to feel free to wave to their aunt in Des Moines or listen in to the morning fashion segment – but we’ll be doing it bright and early while making a powerful statement for human rights in our full orange regalia.

Speakers include: Aamer Anwar (human rights lawyer), Tom Leonard (poet) and Shirley-Anne Somerville (Member of the Scottish Parliament)
Organised by Edinburgh Stop The War Coalition and Scotland Against Criminalising Communities

Prisoners of Guantanamo march to the Supreme Court: A provocative street theater performance involving people wearing orange jumpsuits and black hoods. We will march in an orderly, silent procession, hauntingly evoking the moral disgrace that is Guantanamo. All participants are strongly encouraged to attend a final planning meeting and training on Thursday (January 10th), 4|6pm. After dinner, there will be a public program on Guantanamo from 7-9 pm. Location: St. Stephens and the Incarnation Church, 1525 Newton Street NW, at 16th Street.

Come on your coffee break, lunch break or just take the whole time off Make your own fashion statement by wearing an orange jump-suit while registering your opposition to torture with Senator Bond's office representatives.

Torture is a Crime Against Humanity! We Won't Live in a Torture State! What about YOU?

A special meeting is taking place THIS WEEK in Seattle - We want YOU to take responsibility now to help organize this demonstration! We will be demonstrating live "waterboarding" at Westlake Center as part of the January 11th six-year anniversary of the first arrival of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay! This is not some fun water sport - this is TORTURE and it is being done by YOUR government in YOUR name on people who have not been charged or convicted of any crime!

CODEPINK LA is having a freeway banner hang (see below for location & time info) on January 11, marking the sixth anniversary of the first prisoners being brought to Guantanamo Prison. We will meet at the 10 freeway overpass on National Bl. between Westwood and Overland (very close to Overland). Come out and show that the people of the United States do not stand for torture!

A vigil with a No Torture banner will take place on Coventry from 5 pm - 7 pm before the poetry reading. Wear orange.

On January 11, 2008, Act Against Torture will mark the sixth anniversary of the first detainees' arrival at Guantanamo with a candlelight procession of prisoners.

We'll meet at 4pm on the steps of the federal courthouse at 7th St & Mission in San Francisco (near Civic Center BART). Dressed in orange jumpsuits we'll create a candlelit tableau of chained prisoners before marching slowly and silently in chains down Market Street, stopping at crowded plazas and corners (e.g., BART stations) to re-create our tableau. We'll end in Justin Hermann Plaza and form our final tableau beside the ice skating rink there.
