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.
