CCR Aof the right-wing forces that seized upon this tragedy continues to work with them as they rebuild their lives and to advocate to implement massive changes to our democratic systems. CCR has on behalf of the 171 men that unjustly remain done amazing work over these years to push back forcefully and at the prison. eloquently against the Bush administration’s illegal executive power grab. We’ve also done key work to urge the Obama administration In April 2002, we filed Turkmen v. Ashcroft on behalf of Arab and to renounce the power that Bush claimed and to return it to the Muslim men who were rounded up in racial profiling dragnets and other branches of government and the people. It has been a subjected to abuse and detention, eventually winning a settlement tremendous and high stakes fight. Through it all, CCR has not on their behalf. In 2011, we filed a fourth complaint in that case with wavered in our principles. new evidence of high-level government officials’ complicity in those abuses.

2 The field has shifted in the last 10 years. Because of our work, Guantánamo has gone from a place where the “evil-doers” are sent to a site of national shame, The 9/11 Decade but Barack Obama has yet to close it. Obama has taken steps to curtail U.S. torture, but has refused to hold the torture team accountable. He paid lip In the decade since 9/11 two presidents, with the complicity of Congress service to pulling the troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, but unleashed a tor- and at times the courts, have so severely eroded U.S. democracy that only rent of drone strikes and launched new illegal wars.

The timeline on the following pages shows home country in a time of widespread cholera. The government has erected significant moments in this erosion and some of the ways that CCR has experimental segregation prisons that house activists and Muslims. consistently fought back.

CCR’s work will be as strong as ever in response to these shifts. We believe Within days of the attacks, the “war on terror” paradigm was invoked to justice is not only necessary, it is possible. We take on these issues because justify a radical expansion of executive power and in an attempt to place without us, our clients would be left with no legal way to challenge or speak the president outside of the law. Bush and Obama have both perpetuated out about what is being done to them. As a result, we take on the hardest a state of endless war against an undefined enemy, and claimed that it cases in the most difficult settings—no matter how big or powerful the confers on them the power to kill, capture or detain anyone, anywhere in defendant is. You can always rely on CCR to be where the edges of injustice the world and to justify impunity and ongoing secrecy about U.S. torture, and human dignity meet, using creative advocacy strategies to fight alongside wiretapping, renditions, secret detentions and repression of dissent—all those who have the least access to justice. the while using the “state secrets” doctrine to keep the details of these programs out of view of the courts and the public. We are thrilled to have you standing by our side as we take on these chal- lenges. You honor us with your support as we look forward to another In the end, the test of our democracy is whether or not we look at the actions extraordinary year of using law creatively as a positive force for social change. that were taken in our name and demand that our government end the lawlessness, hold high-level officials accountable and put the presidency back in the constitutional box. At every step of the way CCR, acting as the people’s lawyers, has been there to fight these fights. This is a painful anniversary in many ways. Let us also make it the occasion when together we say, “Enough is enough!”
