January 11, 2008 will mark 6 years since the first 20 prisoners arrived at Guantánamo Bay Cuba. More than 770 men have passed through the gates and no trials have been completed.

As a symbol of freedom and democracy throughout the world, the United States must hold itself to its own high standards. When we resort to the use of torture, abuse, and indefinite detention we lower ourselves to the level of our enemies and violate our own core values.

Guantánamo Bay has tarnished the reputation of the United States and makes a mockery of the values we hold dear. It is time to call once and for all for the United States to CLOSE GUANTÁNAMO!

On January 11, we are calling on everyone opposed to torture and indefinite detention to WEAR ORANGE to symbolize their sadness and disgust with the national shame that is Guantánamo Bay.

Stand with us on January 11th. Take the pledge now and stand strong in support of justice.
