July 4th 2009

Over the July 4th traffic on Interstate 80, "torture victims and detainees" staged a bold banner display on the University Avenue overpass.
World Can't Wait has been up on this overpass action every July 4th since 2006. This year the focus on the torture state forged under Bush - and now being continued and refined by Obama - was a sharp challenge to the thousands who passed our display.

All afternoon, as drivers slowed to read the banners, endless honks and waves of support greeted the anti-torture message.  At times, a remarkable 30-40% of cars were honking loudly.

This city statue honoring the legacy of radical politics and protest in Berkeley's history stands at the foot of the overpass.  These protesters of today decided to update the statue's message.
