Witness Against Torture: Shut Down Guantanamo

Frida Berrigan a member of Witness Against Torture will talk about her trip to Guantanamo and about future campaigns. In December 2005, a group of twenty four friends, following the nonviolent tradition of Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker walked to Guantanamo to visit the prisoners, calling themselves Witness Against Torture. When they returned, they launched the "Campaign to Shut Down Guantanamo," which consists of public education and community outreach, networking and resource sharing, and acts of nonviolent civil disobedience to draw attention to the plight of prisoners in Guantanamo, and victims of the war on terrorism everywhere.
