Six Years of Gitmo Injustice: Friday 1/11 in SF
This Friday, January 11, 2008, marks the sixth anniversary of the first
detainees' arrival at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay. Please join us
to participate in a massive, international protest of the atrocious
injustices that Guantanamo embodies and represents.
Act Against Torture and others will join activists in over 60 cities on
three continents to mark this bitter occasion with a somber candlelight
march mourning the demise of humanity and democracy, and demanding an
immediate end to U.S. government practices of torture and indefinite
detention. In San Francisco, we'll meet at 4pm on the steps of the
federal courthouse at 95 - 7th St (at Mission, near Civic Center BART)
and will march from there to Justin Herman Plaza at the foot of Market
Street.
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.
Please wear orange (we'll have a few extra orange jumpsuits, but not
enough for everyone), or black if you don't have orange clothing. Bring
a flashlight if possible to help light our tableau. We'll bring candles.

If you're not able to join an action in San Francisco or elsewhere,
please wear orange on Friday, wherever you are. A set of "talking
points" compiled by the ACLU may help you to explain to colleagues,
neighbors, and friends why you're wearing orange to demand Guantanamo's
immediate closure:
