Interfaith Communities United for Justice & Peace - 23 Years of confronting "The Enemies Within"
Since September 11th, 2001 Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace has been meeting, in person and online, to deliver the simple but powerful message: religious communities must stop blessing war and violence. We have had great partners on this path - in the video below you can hear from friends and partners like Father Gregory Boyle of Homeboy Industries, Rabbi Cat Zavis of Tikkun, Ani Zonneveld of Muslims for Progressive Values, and Dr. Arik Greenberg of the Institute for Religious Tolerance, Peace and Justice.
Interfaith Communities United for Justice & Peace - 23 Years of confronting "The Enemies Within"
We have endured and spead our message through very trying times - five Presidents, four California Governors, and numerous crises and issues that would shake the resolve of even the most devout and dedicated of activists. But through it all, we go forward in our mission to be the voice for "the least of these", and our determination to create the change we want to see in the world, no matter how vocal and effective the opposition can seem.
For 23 years we have confronted "The Enemies Within" to Justice and Peace, and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Please consider helping Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace in its mission.
ICUJP operates as a largely volunteer organization with a small part-time paid staff. We have survived for over twenty years through the generosity of individuals and organizations like you. We are honored to be with you in the struggle for Justice and Peace.

Join Us to Close Guantanamo NOW!
Join us in-person:
Saturday, January 11, 2025
New Location
Wilshire/Westood Federal Building,
11000 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90024
12:00 - 1:30 pm Pacific Time
Free and open to all
Please join ICUJP and allies in-person Saturday, January 11, 2025, to mark 23 years of existence of the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and the human rights violations and torture it spawned.
At its peak, the illegal detention center at Guantanamo Bay held some 800 men and boys of Muslim faith - most of whom were never charged with a crime. Today, 30 prisoners still languish there.
After the Guantanamo Bay prison camp was opened, the Bush Administration commissioned the torture memos, a series of documents designed to retroactively provide a pseudo-legal justification for crimes against humanity.
To date no one in the Bush administration has been called to account for writing and implementing these documents, and the mainstream media has seemed to forget about what those torture documents have meant to subsequent administrations and the liberties our military and elected officials have taken in illegal detention and torture.
Contact the White House - President Biden can send a message as one of his last acts:
Close Guantanamo NOW and release all detainees!
End torture NOW and prosecute the torturers and those who authorized them.
Speakers:
- Jim Lafferty, National Lawyers Guild LA
- Michael Rapkin, Guantanamo Bar
- Ryan Wentz, Code Pink
- Shane Que Hee, Out Against War
- Mark Friedman, US Hands Off Cuba Committee
- And other speakers to be announced
