January 11: Shut Down Guantánamo

­United for Peace and Justice has endorsed the following call for a Jan. 11, 2008, International Day of Action to Shut Down Guantánamo.

Call to Action
We declare January 11, 2008, six years after the first prisoners arrived at Guantánamo, an International Day of Action to Shut Down Guantánamo. In Washington, DC, we will hold a permitted demonstration at the National Mall followed by an orange jumpsuit procession to the Supreme Court. There will also be solidarity demonstrations in Chicago, Miami, London and Paris, with more being added every day. We invite you to come to Washington and participate, or else join or plan an action in your own community. We also encourage people around the world to wear orange t-shirts, armbands or other orange clothing on January 11th to mark the date.

Please take action, either on-line or in your locality. At the very least they are asking us to wear orange to raise awareness.
Thank you, Zahra Pilavdzic
