DESCRIPTION:UC Berkeley Law Professor John Yoo, who wrote the DOJ legal opinions for 
 Bush and Cheney permitting torture, has been invited to donate a year’s 
 salary (about $500,000) to the Guantanamo Survivors Fund, which has raised 
 $92,000 so far. Professor Yoo is tenured and has been honored with an 
 endowed chair at the law school. The Survivors Fund aims to help former 
 Guantanamo prisoners who were released, and who were tortured and held 
 without charge for up to 14 years. Former prisoners need medical care, 
 rent, language classes, tuition, and job training in order to survive and 
 were given NOTHING when they were released from Guantanamo by the US 
 government, not even their belongings were returned that were confiscated 
 when they were renditioned to Guantanamo. \n\nSince Professor Yoo’s 
 discredited and rescinded legal opinions enabled the Bush Administration to 
 establish the U.S. torture program at Guantanamo and elsewhere, it is only 
 fitting and expected that Yoo will contribute to help the men who were 
 tortured at Guantanamo recover from their trauma. We will welcome this 
 gesture of restitution by Professor Yoo in the spirit of restorative 
 justice.\n\nDelicious home-baked brownies, cupcakes and cookies will be 
 sold to raise money for the Guantanamo Survivors Fund 
 (https://www.nogitmos.org/guantanamo-survivors-fund). Join us and help 
 distribute informational flyers and petitions to students calling for the 
 prosecution of John Yoo for complicity in torture. Orange Guantanamo 
 jumpsuits, handcuffs & crime scene tape will be on hand if needed for a 
 citizens' arrest.\n\n
