Shutdown Guantanamo Stop the Slaughter in Gaza

Dear members,

Reminder: Saturday, January 17, there will be two protest marches in which
our voice will be particularly significant. See below details on both marches
as well as meeting points and contact persons. 

*Shutdown Guantanamo
Saturday, January 17, 3pm
Piazza della Repubblica to U.S. Embassy

Amnesty International in Italy is organizing for what will be the 7th
anniversary of the arrival of the first detainees at Guantánamo. On January
17, starting at 3pm, there will be a march from Piazza della Repubblica to
the U.S. Embassy, with 254 activists wearing the infamous orange
jumpsuits, one for each of the remaining illegally detained prisoners.

Meet on the square where Amnesty will have a presence (see map:

detainee will be meeting at 2pm.

*Stop the Slaughter in Gaza
Saturday, January 17, 3:30pm
Piazza Vittorio to Porta San Paolo (Piramide)

On that same day, there will also be a national demonstration calling for an
end to the assault on Gaza. This march will start at 3:30pm from Piazza
Vittorio to Porta San Paolo (Piramide). This illegal attack, which has already
caused the death of close to 1100 Palestinians, of whom nearly half are
women and children, is made possible by political cover from our
government and our tax dollars.

Look for our USC4P&J banner near the newspaper kiosk at the corner of
via dello Statuto and Piazza Vittorio (see map: http://tinyurl.com/7hd6l8).
