Silence in a Time of Torture is Complicity

 We have now come to a
defining moment, where before the world’s eyes the U.S. Congress is poised to
legalize torture.  We reject such a
course outright.  It does not represent
us. 
Read this statement, sign it, & flood the government officials ratifying torture with phone calls and emails.

Read what others are saying about the torture legislation, including Ariel Dorfman, Erica Jong, & Molly Ivins.

News & Outrages:

  • Torture, indefinite detention, the war: will the Democrats stop it?
  • A week of civil disobedience against the war
  • Congress votes for torture
  • That which you will not resist…
  • Warships headed to Iran

  • Bush Censors Report on Climate Change

  • Mos Def: Arrested for Guerrilla Performance of “Katrina Clap”
  • George Bush Doesn’t Care About Black People: New Orleans one year later
  • More News & Outrages

From the Organizers:


  • What should be the character of the rallies and demonstrations on October 5?
  • World Can’t Wait responds to UFPJ’s decision not to endorse Oct. 5 protests
  • What
    will the day after Oct. 5 look like?
  • Is comparing Bush to Hitler alienating?
  • What will it take to make Oct. 5 a turning point in history?
  • Changing History is NOT a Spectator Sport
  • Oct. 5 Protest Permit Denied in Chicago
  • Open Appeal to Immigrants & the Immigrant Rights Movement from Activists within the Movement
  • Changing History: what does and what doesn’t work?
  • Students Speak Out
