Human

and members of diverse faith communities will gather to rally at Lafayette
Square, at the north side of the White House, to commemorate the 16th
anniversary of the opening of Guantánamo Bay prison. The event will begin with
an interfaith vigil, and the program will begin at noon. We’d love to see
counsel turn out (with signs?!) in support. Looks like it’ll be a warm
afternoon.
