An open letter to the President

Close Guantanamo Bay & End Indefinite Detention Now!

92 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

The continued operation of the Guantanamo Bay detention center is a profound disgrace to this nation and a glaring contradiction to the democratic principles America claims to champion. It is indefensible that the United States government spends $500 million annually to sustain a facility notorious for torture, illegal detentions, and flagrant violations of human rights. Guantanamo Bay is a legal and moral abomination. Many detainees have been held for decades without being charged, without due process, and without justice. This perpetuation of indefinite detention is nothing short of state-sanctioned barbarism. Every day that Guantanamo remains open undermines the Constitution, tramples international law, and makes a mockery of America’s purported dedication to human rights. Instead of wasting $500 million a year on imprisoning individuals without trial, this money should be redirected to better the lives of Americans—providing affordable housing, healthcare, education, and infrastructure. How do you justify such gross mismanagement of public funds when millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet? Your administration’s failure to act decisively on this issue is appalling. You have the power to close this symbol of American hypocrisy and end this era of indefinite detention. Do not squander this opportunity to dismantle an institution that history will rightly condemn. We demand the immediate closure of Guantanamo Bay. Charge or release the detainees in compliance with constitutional and international law. Reallocate the obscene budget for this facility to address the urgent needs of the American people. Anything less is a failure of leadership and a betrayal of justice. Enough is enough. End this atrocity now.
