Dear Activist,
Join the urgent call to save the lives of 130 prisoners on a hunger strike in Guantanamo starting today, May Day! Sign our pledge to join the global hunger strike and actions for justice for Guantanamo prisoners by fasting for at least 24 hours.
Today, 130 of the 166 detainees in Guantanamo are engaged in a hunger strike that started in February. Even though President Obama promised to shut down Guantanamowhen he ran for president and continues to say he wants to close the prison, his failure to do so has prompted us to take further action by organizing a global hunger strike. Join us bysigning the pledge now!
All over the world, people are outraged by the indefinite detention of prisoners at Guantanamo and their cruel and degrading treatment. Join the fast with high-profile global figures such as Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and CODEPINK cofounder Diane Wilson. Send us a picture of youself with a message you would like to share with the world and we will post it in our growing Flickr set.
After 11 years protesting in orange jumpsuits at the White House, in Congress, at the State Department and even making a trip to Guantanamo, we realize it is time to make this bigger than ever. Join us, wherever you are, today!
Onward toward justice for all,
Alli, Candice, Dooler, Jodie, Medea, Nancy, Noor, Rooj, Tighe
P.S. Tweet this: Hey @BarackObama, keep your promise: Close Guantanamo! #CloseGitmo @WhiteHouse #Fast4Gitmo
P.P.S. Join CODEPINK in Fort Meade, Maryland on June 1st as Bradley Manning's trial kicks off!
