DESCRIPTION:Bay Area: please show up for the Global Monthly Vigils happening around the 
 world on the first Wednesday of the month, every month, as we urgently tell 
 President Biden: Close Guantánamo NOW and release the 16 Muslim men who 
 have been cleared for release—some for well over a decade. \n\nBiden must 
 follow his own words and CLOSE GITMO ASAP!  \n\n“America will not 
 torture. We will uphold the rights of those who we bring to justice. And we 
 will close the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay…. [W]e say to our 
 friends that the alliances, treaties and international organizations we 
 build must be credible and they must be effective. That requires a common 
 commitment not only to listen and live by the rules, but to enforce the 
 rules when they are, in fact, clearly violated”\n~US Vice President Joe 
 Biden, February 2009\n\nPresident George W. Bush declared his wish to 
 shutter the prison that he had opened. Both Obama and Biden promised to do 
 the same. NOW may well be the last chance for Guantánamo closure; Trump 
 had planned to enlarge the facility for more 'bad guys'; Kamala Harris has 
 thus far been quiet on the issue.\n\nPlease join World Can't Wait, Amnesty 
 International and the many co-sponsoring organizations worldwide to deliver 
 that message on Wednesday, September 4, 3PM at the traffic island (Harry 
 Bridges Plaza) outside the SF Ferry Building.\n\n
