President Biden has a critical window of opportunity to end an ongoing abuse of human rights and close Guantánamo once and for all. He needs to move quickly to do it.

Please join us as we remind President Biden to follow his own advice:

“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”
~U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, February 2009
