Philadelphia Cell Tour – Day 1
The City of Brotherly Love got its first exposure to the Guantánamo cell replica today – the cell traveled all around Philadelphia today with canvassers covering over 8 miles of Center City Philly, with stops at Dilworth Plaza - the main event site, LOVE park, the Ben Franklin Parkway, Independence Mall, Old City, South Street, and Rittenhouse Square, passing out almost 3,000 flyers about the event.
News of the event is spreading – even without flyering throughout the city, posters, radio promotion, and word of mouth have already started to spark interest – canvassers had many great conversations. Stay tuned for the weekend – Philly promises to be an exciting stop on the national tour.

Heating UP South Beach!
It is a clear blue sky; no overcastting clouds, reggae and flamenco intertwine in the air. The streets cafes are jammed pack and all you can see are the bright orange jumpsuits and the bright orange box.
Yep, you read it right, orange colored jumpsuits filled the South Miami Beach streets spreading the word about the National Launch of the Counter Terror with Justice: Guantanamo Cell Replica Tour.
Saturday and Sunday, a buzz team comprised of local activists hit the streets and passed out over 5,000 handbills announcing the arrival of our special guest, the Guantanamo Cell Replica.

The Stuff of Life - ‘Waterboarding’
‘The Stuff of Life’ exposes the reality of the ‘waterboarding’ torture technique. The CIA uses waterboarding to try to extract information from detainees in the ‘war on terror’. President George Bush thinks it is a ‘necessary tool’. We think it’s torture.
