JUST SAY GUANTANANO!

Leaders of the American Psychological Association are meeting this week to vote on the New Business Item 35B resolution that would allow military psychologists to return to Guantanamo. IT IS CRUCIAL that we make our opposition to this action known and have our voices heard by being present to let the APA know we will not abide by these cruel practices.

Represent PsySR and join us in making our statement by ordering the GUANTANANO t-shirt!

This shirt means No Guantanamo, the detention site needs to be shut down. It represents that APA’s is once again attempting to get psychologists back in Guantanamo. There is only one response, Guantanamo No! If you are attending the APA Convention and want your position to be known, we can arrange for you to pick the shirt up Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, particularly if you want to show your presence at the Council meeting where this vote will occur.

If you want to order it and have it sent to your home, you can choose that. It is $20.00 or if you choose to renew or become a new member of PsysR, the shirt is free. If a sliding scale is super helpful, let us know.

email admin@psysr.net with your name, shirt size(s) and quantity if you would like delivery at the APA convention (shirts will be in PsySR suite)
