Dear Tracy,
Last Thursday President Obama announced specific steps to close down Guantanamo prison.
We've
heard promises like this before and we are doing everything we can to
ensure that the President meets his commitments this time—and ensure
that Congress does not block progress.
Will you help us keep pressure on President Obama and Congress? Make
an urgent donation to Amnesty so we can continue to speak out for
people unlawfully detained in Guantanamo Bay and around the world.
Four years and three months ago President Obama promised to shut Guantanamo down for good. Last week he renewed his commitment.
Help
us leverage this high-profile moment. We must ensure that President
Obama immediately takes steps toward closing the prison by transferring
detainees -- like Shaker Aamer -- who have not been charged with any
crimes and have been cleared to leave.
All detainees have the
right to be fairly tried or released and President Obama has the
authority to move forward with transfers under current law. Let's tell
President Obama to keep his promise. Make a donation and support our massive grassroots mobilization campaign.
Our
million-strong activist network is keeping non-stop pressure on
President Obama through phone calls, letters, e-mails, educational
events and protests in the streets, including in Washington DC. Our
policy experts are lobbying key members of the Administration. And our
media team is keeping this issue front and center for journalists and
bloggers around the world.
Help show President Obama that it's time to do more than talk. Make a donation and support our urgent work.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Zeke Johnson
Director, Security with Human Rights Campaign
