Hooded protesters march on 13th anniv of Guantanamo's opening

Submitted by Luke on Sun, 01/11/2015 - 20:00

On January 11, 2002, the unlawful prison at Guantanimo Bay opened for business. On January 11, 2015 it was still in business even though President Obama vowed six years ago to close it. As on every January 11th back to 2007, a long line of protesters in orange jumpsuits and black hoods marched to demand the closure of Gitmo.

Two arrested in torture protest at Dick Cheney's house

Submitted by Luke on Sat, 01/10/2015 - 20:20

Early AM on Saturday, Jan 10, Code Pink and other activists gathered at Frying Pan National Park in Herndon, Va for the Torture Tour. Protesters stopped at the homes of CIA chief John Brennan and of former vice President Dick Cheney, both notorious war criminals. Tigh Barry was arrested at Cheney's house-while dressed as Cheney himself! A second arrest was also reported, apparently this began as an attempt to put Cheney under citizen's arrest on war crimes charges. Afterwards, the remaining protesters headed to CIA headquarters for a vigil against torture and drone strikes.

Code Pink disrupts GOP party celebrating takeover of Congress

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 01/06/2015 - 23:22

On the 6th of January, Code Pink lampooned and significantly disrupted a GOP dinner celebrating their takeover of both houses of Congress staged by the " Republican Jewish Coalition." Jewish members of Code Pink called that group out for not representing them as Jews and favoring Israel over the values of their own religion. Senator Sheldon Adelson, a casino billionaire with a reputation for bribery and money laundering was one of the scheduled guests. Another was Dick Cheney. Code Pink caught Karl Rove and Sen McCain at the door and made them run a gauntlet of protesters.

Pakistani Americans hold vigil for students killed by Taliban attack

Submitted by Luke on Wed, 12/17/2014 - 22:16

On the 17th of December, hundreds of people, mostly Pakistani-Americans, gathered in Dupont Circle to remember 141 people, mostly young students, killed in the Dec 16 Taliban attack on a school in Peshawar. There was a call for solidarity with this vigil on the DC Ferguson Twitter feed and no march that would have conflicted with it.
