January 11 vigil
Posted January 16th, 2008 by Dan | Allentown, News & Notes, USA
On January 11, nine hardy souls braved a chilly, rainy morning to vigil in downtown Allentown with the aim of shutting down the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility. Our signs attracted the attention, and often the support, of passersby and drivers. We provided pedestrians with Guantanamo fact sheets which, for the most part, were accepted with interest. Local television was there to film the event, though I don’t think we actually made the evening news. But, despite the weather, we had a good time enjoying the solidarity of our group, and were simply happy to being doing “the right thing.” Dan Laxar
