Description
JOIN US AT THE WHITE HOUSE FOR AN ACTION ON THE 100TH DAY!
Two hundred-fifty prisoners remain detained in Guantanamo, including many already
cleared for release, Bagram prison is expanding. Indefinite detention is continuing.
We invite you to join us in Washington DC for the 100th Day, April 30 for a
procession in orange jump suits and a nonviolent direct action at the White House.
We are asking folks to arrive early on April 29, and we will provide housing and

The Obama administration needs to know that the situation at Guantanamo today
remains as unacceptable as it was on Jan. 20th.

April 29th by 2pm for action planning, dinner, and a Wednesday Night event that
includes Dan Berrigan & Liz McAlister!
