Amnesty Toronto: Close Guantanamo Prison
WARNING: Unsuitable for anyone under 14. These videos should disturb viewers.
When you sign the pledge on our new Tear It Down site, you bring us one name closer to our goal of 500,000. This simple act sends a powerful message to Congress - that it's time to change our country's course on human rights and tear down the detention facility at Guantnamo Bay once and for all. Won't you take action now? Click here or on the image below.
But this fight is far from over. That's why I'd like to invite you to join Amnesty today. Stand with us as we investigate and expose the abuses of Guantnamo Bay and elsewhere. Join more than 2.2 million other supporters, activists, and volunteers in over 150 countries, and help us create a safer, more just world.
By becoming a member, you enable us to recruit committed activists, free prisoners of conscience, lobby Congress, and engage in public outreach to put an end to horrors and injustices like those taking place in Guantnamo.
Together we can create a world where every man, woman, and child can enjoy the rights of life and liberty; a world where torture and slavery are abolished; a world filled with respect for the dignity of all people. Please support Amnesty International today and make a world of difference.
Thank you for all you do in support of human rights.
Sincerely,
Larry Cox
Executive Director

More than two years into the human rights disaster of Hurricane Katrina, thousands remain displaced because of an absence of affordable housing, with rent increases up more than 40% and the majority of public housing still shuttered. Local and federal agencies reportedly plan to demolish four of the largest public housing developments in New Orleans, which would eliminate the majority of public housing in the city. This could affect thousands of former residents, many of whom are keen to return. Help uphold New Orleans residents' right to return by ensuring that the Senate passes a bill that addresses housing needs in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Urge your senator to co-sponsor the Gulf Coast Housing Recovery Act of 2007 (S. 1668), or thank your Senator, if he or she is already a co-sponsor. The House has already passed its version of this bill, H.R. 1227.

Latest review for DIVERTING THE BUDDHA (The Skewering of Democracy)
“This complex and deftly plotted novel examines a massive assault on a people crying out for democracy. It chronicles a time when American efforts to build democracy produced an apocalyptic disaster. While the author spares none of the grisly details of this repression, his special powers of language also brings his characters and their complex world vividly to life. The story leads its readers inside pagodas, university halls and military posts, all venues with which the novelist is perfectly familiar. The major theme of this novel is betrayal—of democratic aspirations, of the American public, of truth itself.” Historian David Heiser, Citadel Military College Ret.
