DESCRIPTION:Demonstrate your opposition to promisted expansion of U.S. torture 
 practices.\nIn this Month of Resistance leading up to the scheduled 
 inauguration of the fascist Trump-\nPence regime….\nOn the 15th 
 Anniversary of the Guantanamo Bay torture prison….\n\nWorld Can’t Wait, 
 CODEPINK, and Occupy SF Action Council\nInvite Everyone to a Vigil and 
 Procession: \nSTOP! TRUMP TORTURE PROGRAM\n\nWednesday January 11, 1:00 pm 
 (rain or shine)\n“Old” San Francisco Federal Building\n450 Golden Gate 
 Avenue, San Francisco\nPrisoners’ Procession (march) to 
 follow\n\nDemonstrate your opposition to U.S. torture practices, and now 
 the prospect of their expansion\nunder a Trump-Pence regime! We will wear 
 the Guantanamo prisoners’ orange jumpsuits – hold\ntheir pictures and 
 names for all to see – and we will tell the oncoming Trump-Pence regime 
 that\nNO! We Will Not Accept TORTURE by a Fascist America!\n\nWe will 
 represent for and shine a light upon the humanity of the prisoners so 
 unjustly detained,\ntortured, and some actually murdered, including the 
 “forever” prisoners (those deemed by their\nU.C. captors to be too 
 dangerous to release, yet who cannot be taken to trial because the 
 evidence\nagainst them was obtained through torture). Contact World Can’t 
 Wait at sf@worldcantwait.net\nto reserve your Orange Jumpsuit for a Vigil 
 and March on this, the 15th anniversary of the\nopening of the post-9/11 
 prison at Guantanamo. If you have a statement, a poem, a contribution\nto 
 the vigil it’s most welcome.\n\nDonald Trump’s intentions are clear: 
 “Guantanamo Bay … Which we are keeping open ... and\nwe're gonna load 
 it up with some bad dudes, believe me, we're gonna load it up." Now with 
 the\nelection ot Trump, "The nightmare that civil libertarians have warned 
 of for years has now\ntragically come true," warns Trevor Timm at The 
 Guardian. "Instead of dismantling the\nsurveillance state and war machine, 
 the Obama administration and Democrats institutionalised\nit -- and it will 
 soon be in the hands of a maniac."\n\nWe who are calling this action have 
 been standing up against the whole Guantanamo package\nthroughout the Bush 
 and Obama years: illegal detention, torture, and the political and legal 
 lies\nin which they’re wrapped. We have said all these years that these 
 crimes were crimes, regardless\nof whether from Republicans (Bush presided 
 over the genesis of this current torture program) or\nDemocrats (Obama 
 continued it).\n\nWe call everyone to speak out on this January 11, the 
 last Guantanamo “anniversary” of Obama’s\nreign and 8 years of his 
 broken promise to close this hellhole, as we face the even more 
 horrific\nprospects of a Guantanamo on steroids under Trump/Pence and their 
 whole prospective cabinet.\nWe note that Senator Jeff Sessions, for one 
 example, has defended the continued illegal detention\nof al-Qaeda 
 prisoners at the military facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, calling the 
 torture prison\na "logical" site that also provides inmates with "tropical 
 breezes."\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/01/09/18795232.php
