ALERT: America Still Tortures!
Long after the scandal at Abu Ghraib and the Administration’s denouncement of all that happened there, the New York Times reported last week that in 2005, the Justice Department issued a secret internal memo that endorsed "the harshest interrogation techniques ever used by the Central Intelligence Agency."
We’re angry: The America we believe in does not torture people. And in response, we're mounting a national fall campaign to "86" these policies once and for all.
86 days separate two infamous dates: October 17 marks the first year anniversary of the Military Commissions Act and January 11 marks the anniversary of the first detainee transferred to Guantanamo Bay.
Join us on October 17 as we stand and protest the wrong-headed policies these two dates represent: torture, indefinite detention, guilty until proven innocent.
Help us kick-off our "86 it" campaign by:
- Hosting your own protest by downloading our action guide (PDF).
- Attending an event that’s already happening in your area by contacting us via email at dtorture@aiusa.org. We’ll put you in touch with the right people locally.
- Taking pictures of your actions to "86" torture and sending them to dtorture@aiusa.org.
