*PRESS CONFERENCE*

*Who:*  Clergy for Peace (List will be provided at press conference)

*When:*  Wednesday, May 28th at Noon – West Presbyterian Church – 80 Main
Street, Binghamton, NY

*Announcing:*  June is designated Torture Awareness Month



*Torture is a MORAL Issue*

*The National Religious Campaign Against Torture is making June the month
for Banners Across **America**!   The National Religious Campaign Against
Torture (NRCAT) is a growing membership organization committed to ending
U.S.-sponsored torture, and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Since
its formation in January 2006, over 130 religious groups have joined NRCAT,
including representatives from the Roman Catholic, evangelical Christian,
mainline Protestant, Unitarian, Quaker, Orthodox Christian, Jewish, Muslim,
and Sikh communities.  *

* *

*The goal of NRCAT is to bring about changes in U.S. policy to prohibit --
without exception -- all U.S.-sponsored torture and cruel, inhuman and
degrading treatment of detainees,  to expand the moral consensus among the
American people that torture is never acceptable and to  encourage and
enable national denominations, faith groups, national and regional religious
organizations, congregations, and individual people of faith to engage
actively in efforts to end U.S.-sponsored torture including educating the
public about torture and detainee treatment and urging the public to end
U.S.-sponsored torture. *

* *

*Locally, this effort is to raise awareness of the issue of torture is being
endorsed and supported by the local Clergy for Peace coalition.   We are
asking congregations of all sizes, and all faiths, to join in a public
witness against torture by preaching on this topic sometime during the month
of June and displaying a banner outside their place of worship during this
time.*

*            Film:  Winter Soldier II – Unitarian Universalist Church Social
Hall – May 30 – **7 pm***
