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

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!
