Codepink had a very successful peace march on the bridge on January 10, 2016, in solidarity with detainees of Guantanamo prison, most still being held without charges, even though many have been cleared for release years ago. We read the words of one of the detainees, Tariq Ba Odah, who has been on a hunger strike since 2005, and is still force fed 2x per day.
Our current working resolution as of 5/19/15.
