National Week of Student Action to Close Guantanamo Bay!

The week of March 31 - April 4 is the National Week of Student Action to Close Guantanamo Bay!

We will be holding a number of events for the week:

On Monday, wear Orange to show solidarity with the prisoners of Guantanamo Bay - only 14 of them have been charged with a crime.

On Tuesday, come to 5 Ferguson at 7 p.m. for a screening of the documentary "The Road to Guantanamo."

On Wednesday, go see Ann Coulter speak and intelligently debate her more inflammatory statements in a classy, non-confrontational way (she's better at being outrageous than you are, don't challenge her on her own turf).

On Thursdy, come to the HUB lawn at 4 p.m. for a demonstration/vigil/rally to end torture and close Guantanamo. Bring signs and sign actions!

We will be having a Kickball Tournament at 4 on Friday. Teams of 7 are needed, so sign up by e-mailing Tina Robinson at kmr5093@psu.edu or call her at 484-319-1115.

The Decline of the Death Penalty in America

This Tuesday, instead of our regular meeting, we will be hosting two events.

The first is at 12:30 in the HUB Auditorium. We will be hearing presentations by speakers Harold Wilson, a death row exoneree and Rev. Walter Everett, the father of a murder victim and an opponent of the death penalty.

The second is from 7-9 p.m. in 26 Hosler, where we will be holding a panel discussion between Wilson, Everett, and Penn State professor Frank Baumgartner, author of the Decline of the Death Penalty and the Discovery of Innocence.

Come by and support this cause and learn a thing or two!
