Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of President Obama’s announcement to close the prison at Guantánamo Bay. The Obama administration has already said it will miss the deadline, and CCR, the ACLU, Amnesty International, MoveOn, Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and other rights groups will continue to advocate for its timely, responsible closure.  Join us on Twitter and Facebook and help us build a buzz today and tomorrow, January 22, 2010. Here's how:
