Just say NO to Jeff Sessions!

Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions could be the worst Attorney General ever - he's pro-torture, anti-voting rights, anti-civil rights and supports unchecked surveillance powers. Please make two phone calls today, to Senators Cardin and Van Hollen to tell them to oppose Sessions. Call 877-959-6082 to reach Senator Cardin (or other senators), 202-224-4654 to reach Senator Van Hollen.

(We apologize for sending the wrong number for Senator Van Hollen in an earlier email this morning. We have never sent two emails on the same day before; given that the confirmation hearing is on Wednesday, it was important to send this correction.)

Another anniversary of Guantanamo is upon us - to say nothing of the 55 remaining inmates there, still held without charge or trial. Join us at 12 pm Wed January 11 at the Supreme Court for an interfaith service to protest that and the Sessions and Pompeo nominations. Event sponsored by Witness against Torture, Amnesty International, BORDC/DDF, Center for Constitutional Rights, Code Pink, Council on American Islamic Relations, and more.
