Religious Vigil Against Torture
Speak out against this country's torture policy and practices, and let our government, our country, and the world know that we oppose torture, whoever commits it – that the torture policy of this administration does not reflect the values of the American people. As many people as possible are being asked to stand shoulder to shoulder facing the Vice President's House along Massachusetts Avenue going south towards Dupont Circle. Come demonstrate quietly and peacefully with candles, flashlights, and signs on the sidewalk across from the house. Once you arrive, take your place next to the last person in line, on the sidewalk, facing the Vice President's House. A line will be created down Massachusetts Avenue as long as the number of people who have joined. This is a vigil – please, no shouting or chanting.
When: Wednesday, Dec. 28, from 5 to 7 p.m. Where: Massachusetts Avenue and 34th Street NW (Dupont Circle Metro, then transfer to an N2, 4 or 6 bus going up Massachusetts Avenue) More Info: Linda Gustitus at 202/363-3928
