take a step and join me in challenging an america that still tortures...

long after the scandal at abu ghraib and the administration’s denouncement of all that happened there, the new york times reported last week that in 2005, the justice department issued a secret internal memo that endorsed "the harshest interrogation techniques ever used by the central intelligence agency,"...

and i'm angry: the america i believe in does not torture people...and in response, amnesty international is mounting a national fall campaign to "86" these policies once and for all....

86 days separate two infamous dates: october 17th marks the first year anniversary of the military commissions act and january 11th marks the anniversary of the first detainee transferred to guantanamo bay...

join me on october 17th as i stand with my brothers and sisters and protest the wrong-headed policies these two dates represent: torture, indefinite detention, guilty until proven innocent...

help us kick-off our "86 it" campaign by:
my homies at amnesty international will be showcasing demonstrations on amnestyusa.org so be sure to report back and let us know how your events went (as well as send us any pictures you take)...

stand with me against an administration that publicly decries torture, but privately continues to perpetrate it...stand with members of amnesty international for the america you believe in by joining the 86 days of action today...

peace out <3
