DESCRIPTION:January 11, 2008: Sixth Anniversary of Guantánamo torture camp\n\nSix 
 years ago on January 11, 2002, the U.S. opened its torture chambers at 
 Guantánamo. Amnesty International, National Religious Campaign Against 
 Torture, World Can’t Wait, and others are calling for an International 
 Day of Action to Shut Down Guantánamo for Friday, January 11, 2008. The 
 ACLU has designated this as a nationwide day for people of conscience to 
 wear orange (the ACLU is distributing orange armbands).\n\nThis will be a 
 day when people wear orange, against the torturing Bush regime and to 
 repudiate the whole Bush program. The world needs to see that the people of 
 this country rise to say NO to torture. Torture is a crime against 
 humanity. Torture is an impeachable offense, ordered by the White House and 
 still being sanctioned by Congress.\n\nOn January 11 in Washington, D.C., 
 people will march and take actions on the National Mall and in front of the 
 Supreme Court. World Can't Wait is part of Shut Down Guantánamo, a protest 
 at the White House led by Amnesty International and the National Religious 
 Campaign Against Torture, followed by a Guantánamo Prisoner Procession to 
 the Supreme Court, and a funeral ceremony remembering the four men who died 
 in custody at Guantánamo, and mourning the death of Habeas Corpus. For 
 details: www.witnesstorture.org If you can get to Washington, D.C., contact 
 us for more info.\n\nHere in the Bay Area, the National Day of Action 
 includes:\n\n** Wear Orange everywhere! Ribbons, armbands, bandanas, and NO 
 TORTURE stickers. Spread Orange at work, in your community, and on the 
 Internet. Schools, churches, community centers and others are urged to hang 
 banners and signs declaring "No Torture".\n\n** High school youth: color 
 Bay Area schools ORANGE! -- Special emphasis on mobilizing mass orange 
 actions in area high schools, before students join the Market Street action 
 at 4:00 PM and the World Can’t Wait evening meeting in San Francisco. 
 (Call or email us to help organize in and at high schools.)\n\n** Join 
 World Can’t Wait as we walk with Act Against Torture in a candlelight 
 procession of prisoners.\n\nWHEN: Meet early at 3:30 to prepare for the 
 procession to begin at 4:00 PM\nWHERE: Steps of the Federal Courthouse\nat 
 7th St & Mission in San Francisco (near Civic Center BART)\n\nAt 4:00, 
 dressed in orange jumpsuits, we'll create a candlelit tableau of chained 
 prisoners before marching slowly and silently in chains down Market Street, 
 stopping at crowded plazas and corners (e.g., BART stations) to re-create 
 our tableau. We'll end in Justin Hermann Plaza for a final tableau beside 
 the ice skating rink.\n\nIf possible, please wear an orange jumpsuit OR 
 wear orange OR black if you can't find orange clothing. World Can’t Wait 
 will have some extra jumpsuits and hoods (call or email ahead so we save 
 one for you). Bring a flashlight to help light our tableau. Also drums and 
 candles if possible.\n\n** Come to a World Can’t Wait chapter 
 program/meeting for a discussion of what we all need to do next to stop the 
 whole "torture state." WCW will present our 2008 plans to carry forward to 
 a mass repudiation of the whole Bush program, including a national day of 
 mass non-violent civil resistance on Thursday, January 31 (see announcement 
 below).\n\nWHEN: Friday, January 11, 7:00 – 9:00 PM\nWHERE: San Francisco 
 Film Arts Center\n145 Ninth Street (betw. Mission & Howard Streets)\nSan 
 Francisco, CA 94103\n\nThe Film Arts Center is a short walk (two blocks) 
 from Civic Center BART. Street parking is easy and free starting right at 
 7:00 PM.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/01/08/18471087.php
