North Carolinians rallied outside Rep. Deborah Ross’ district office in Raleigh to call on the Congresswoman to break her silence on Guantanamo. Since her election to a safely Democratic Congressional seat in 2020, Rep. Ross has declined several opportunities, including in 2021 when she refused to join 75 colleagues in a letter calling on President Biden to speedily close the Guantanamo prison.
Protesters, most of whom were Ross constituents, called on Ross for a public statement on the need to close the prison, and for pressure on the Biden Administration to accelerate the transfer out of prisoners cleared for release.
