Habeas Corpus Rally today at 12 noon EST in DC and Second Life!

Posted on June 26, 2007 by

I just got word that the American Civil Liberties Union is sponsoring a rally in Washington DC today to call for the restoration of habeas corpus and and end to torture in Guantanamo Bay.  For those who can’t make it there, you can still participate by teleporting into the Second Life Capitol Hill and join other virtual demonstrators in a show of support for the rule of law and due process.  Entitled ‘A Day of Action to Restore Law and Justice,’ there will be a live webcast of the real life rally into SL, including speakers
Senators Ben Cardin, Tom Harkin and Patrick Leahy; Representatives John
Conyers, Dennis Kucinich and Jerrold Nadler; Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU; Larry Cox, Executive Director of
Amnesty International; and David Keene, Chairman of the American
Conservative Union.

Head to Mojo Fields to get a tee-shirt, protest sign and other info (teleport SLURL) and to the ACLU website for more information on the rally, both real and virtual. After the fold is the complete message from the ACLU…
