Subject: Daily Show visits the Guantánamo cell tour
Dear Sybil,
Join the movement: apply to lead a delegation today!

Getting featured on The Daily Show last night is just the latest exciting news
from our campaign to close Guantánamo.
In less than a month, thousands have now visited our life-size replica of a
Guantánamo Bay cell in Miami, Philadelphia and Portland, ME. The tour has been featured in
major national media. World leaders have noticed and some have even visited the events.
And our flagship event in Washington, DC (RSVP now!) on June 25th is still yet to come.
The momentum is real. While The Daily Show took its typical off-beat approach
to current events, treatment of people in Guantánamo is an urgent matter. Detainees are
currently being tried in kangaroo courts with the death penalty as a possible punishment.
Help bring pressure to close Guantánamo where it matters most. Apply to lead a
delegation urging Congress to close Guantánamo Bay.
Our meetings will be held from June 30th to July 3rd. As a delegation leader,
you select the meeting date. You can meet your member of Congress in your local district
office or in DC.
We promise we'll make leading a delegation easy. We’ll train you, give you
talking points, and answer all your questions. You’ll meet other passionate Amnesty
International supporters.
The deadline for registering is this Friday. Don't miss this opportunity
to join one of the most exciting human rights campaigns of the year.
Apply today to lead a delegation before Congress. Make sure you act before the
June 13th deadline.
Thanks for your support and all that you've helped us achieve so far.
Sincerely,
Njambi Good
Campaign Director
Denounce Torture Campaign
P.S. Visit the cell tour blog for the latest videos, images and updates on the
cell. And let us know if you want to attend of volunteer at the flagship cell tour event
on June 25th in Washington, DC. We'll be located between the White House and the
Washington Monument!!
