DESCRIPTION:This Wednesday, participants in CODEPINK’s weekly PEACE vigil will honor 
 the victims of endless brutality at Guantanamo Bay (America’s most 
 notorious concentration camp, which President Trump keeps open and 
 threatens to expand), and in particular the hunger-striking prisoners 
 making the ultimate sacrifice for justice.\n\n"Five detainees at Guantanamo 
 Bay are starving to death," reports Reprieve founder Clive Stafford Smith. 
 "Under an arbitrary new practice brought in by the Trump administration, 
 hunger strikers are reportedly being denied access to basic medical care 
 and left to starve." Strikers voice a simple demand -- give us fair trials, 
 or release us.\n\nSmith asks supporters to join in a solidarity hunger 
 strike with the prisoners. By fasting in their stead, he hopes to enable 
 strikers to gain strength to continue their battle for justice. "If the 
 world won't pay attention to their hunger strike, maybe they'll pay 
 attention to ours."\n\nPledge to fast for 24 hours here: 
 https://act.reprieve.org.uk/page/s/fastforjustice. \n\nThe torture of false 
 imprisonment is a key component of fascist pathology, and a clear warning 
 sign of a governmental, even constitutional, crisis. This Nightmare Must 
 End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! \n \nWe must do all we can to create a 
 political situation where Trump is forced to Close Guantanamo. To that end, 
 World Can’t Wait is assembling a We Say NO TORTURE contingent to Refuse 
 Fascism action on November 4, 
 https://refusefascism.org/protests-and-events/. \n \nReserve your orange 
 jumpsuits, 818-480-1860, to witness for illegally held Guantanamo 
 prisoners. Gather Saturday November 4 at 3 pm, Union Square, San Francisco. 
 Prepare to march.\n
