Boston,Mass.-May 18, 2013: This weekend is one of global protests to shut down Guantanamo prison, where most of the prisoners have been on a long hunger strike to protest their indefinite detention without trial or due process-victims of the US war on terror that has gone horribly wrong. About 20 protesters held a vigil/speakout in Boston, Mass., outside Park Street subway station; this was today, May 18. The call was to make Obama keep his 2008 campaign promise to close Guantanamo. It was organized by The Committee For Peace And Human Rights-Boston, who hold a weekly anti-war vigil at the same time/location as today's protest; also Veterans For Peace and Women's International League For Peace And Freedom(WILPF)helped organize this protest as well. Here are links to a short video and some photos of the protest, (if not highlighted, copy and paste links in your browser)-- VIDEO: http://youtu.be/ZJdH7sBbA-w PHOTOS: http://www.flickr.com/photos/protestphotos1/sets/72157633527509412/detai/ More info-- www.worldcantwait.net | |
This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
