You are invited to join the WNY Peace Center on Sunday, March 26th for our WNY Women’s March beginning at 1:00PM at Niagara Square (downtown Buffalo). After marching to the Buffalo Erie County Public Central Library, we’ll have speakers and performers share in the library’s Ring of Knowledge while themed activities are available for children in the kid’s area.
This year, we hope to bring awareness to international women’s rights, environmental sustainability, and peaceful negotiations in war-torn countries. Please join our efforts to uplift these important social justice discussions.
Interfaith Communities United for Justice & Peace (ICUJP) is having a Friday Forum on Guantanamo, and why it is still open. Joining longtime ICUJP member and “Close Guantanamo” event organizer Jon Krampner are the Rev. Ron Stief of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, Mohammad Tajsar of the ACLU of Southern California, and Michael Rapkin, a member of the Guantanamo Bar. They would like to have as many of our friends in the Close Guantanamo movement join us on Friday, so please repost on your websites and social media.
January 11, 2023 begins the third decade Guantanamo has been open. WAT remains in solidarity with the men who suffer in Guantanamo and those still suffering outside Guantanamo, calling out their names since 2005.
Join WAT for their 21st Anniversary Virtual Rally: Building our Power to Close Guantánamo on Wed Jan 11, 4 – 5:30 pm ET. Learn more and RSVP here for the link.
You can support the men in actions that go way beyond rallies and vigils: donate to the Guantanamo Survivors Fund; send a visual J11 message to President Biden via the Gtmo Clock; contact the President directly, and write letters to the men still inside. Take these actions now and gear up for yet another year of solidarity.
