DESCRIPTION:ACLU of Northern California Action 
 Alert\n----------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThis 
 week, people all over the world celebrated the coming of a new year, a new 
 start. At the ACLU, we plan to take an even louder, stronger stand for 
 civil liberties and human rights this year by showing the Bush 
 Administration and the world that the time has come to close the detention 
 center at Guantánamo Bay.\n \nThe ACLU is calling on people of conscience 
 to wear orange on Friday, January 11th, the sixth anniversary of the 
 opening of the detention center.\n \nWe invite you to join us at our Close 
 Guantánamo Volunteer Activist Night on Tuesday, January 8th, to gain a 
 deeper knowledge about the egregious human rights violations taking place 
 each day at Guantánamo Bay. \n \nMore Info: 
 http://www.aclunc.org/action/events/close_guantanamo_volunteer_activist_night.shtml\n 
 \nLearn about the day-to-day reality of detainees at Guantánamo, and why 
 so many people across the country are calling for its immediate closure.\n 
 \nHear testimonials collected from those present at the detention center - 
 from prisoners to interrogators to Red Cross personnel.\n \nGain insights 
 often lost in mass media reporting on Guantánamo: how and why the U.S. 
 Constitution prohibits holding prisoners without charging them with a 
 crime, without trial, and without access to attorneys.\n \nBecome an expert 
 on many of the legal issues surrounding Guantánamo.\n \nEquip yourself 
 with the tools to educate others about torture and Guantánamo.\n
