We support President Obama's executive order to close the Guantanamo prison. But it must be closed not just on paper, but in reality. After seven years of detaining hundreds of men without trial, a one year timeline for closing Guantanamo is unacceptable. For the over 70 men currently on hunger strike in Guantanamo, it has been seven years too long. We want justice now.

During the first 100 days of the Obama administration we are holding a daily vigil 11am-1pm, Monday-Friday, meeting in Lafayette Park.

We're also maintaining a schedule of other activities:

• Mondays – Film & Discussion series @ various DC venue(s)
• Tuesdays – Speaking with Members of Congress on Guantánamo, torture, and U.S. policy on human rights
• Wednesdays – Speakers Series @ various DC Venue(s)
• Thursdays – Creative Action (civil resistance, street theatre, etc..)
• Fridays – open

Other things you can do:

1. Make a phone call to the White House (202.456.1111) about the Uighurs.
2. If you’re on Facebook, join the “100 Days to Close Guantanamo and End Torture” Cause and “Witness Against Torture” group, and encourage your friends to do the same!
3. Organize a group to come to DC and join our vigil and weekly events. See bottom of this e-mail for links that give a sense of what we’re up to.
4. Set aside 15 minutes each day to visit our website to find the latest press and blog stories about Guantanamo, the Uighurs, torture and extraordinary rendition (see the bottom right corner), post comments to those articles and give a link to the campaign.
5. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper reacting to any news story about Guantanamo.
6. Have your group endorse the campaign.
7. Join our weekly Friday 24 Hour, liquid only fast.
8. Circulate campaign updates and call-in days to your family, friends, and contacts.
9. Mark your calendars, and plan to travel to DC for APRIL 30th – the 100th DAY. Let us know (info@100dayscampaign.org) if you can come down from April 29th thru May 1st for an important action…more details soon.
