4 July - Independence Day Picnic in Grosvenor Square

Project 2012 & London Guantánamo Campaign | 27.06.2008 09:29 | London

What do freedom and independence mean to you? And at what price? Is your freedom worth the illegal detention of 10 of 1000s of detainees around the world in secret CIA jails, the poverty of millions and enslavement to corporate entities? The freedom to care, the freedom to share and the freedom to just be a human being... come and debate this with us on American Independence Day at 6-8pm in Grosvenor Square. Feel free to join us and celebrate your freedom ;-)


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. (American Declaration of Independence, 4 July 1776)

“Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains”. (J.-J. Rousseau, The Social Contract, 1762)



4 July 2008 and Beyond
Declaration of Independence Picnic
For the Free People of the World

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We invite you to join us on 4 July 2008, in solidarity with Binyam Mohamed, a victim of CIA abduction, torture and illegal detention, and now the last Londoner still detained in Guantánamo Bay. Binyam currently faces the prospect of the death penalty in a kangaroo court. His rights and freedoms have been trampled on by the US state, and we demand his freedom and that of other victims of US neo-imperialist policies.

We invite you to share food and your thoughts on freedom with us. Much cherished but much undermined in our times, isn't it time we declared independence from the undemocratic and oppressive structures of rule in the US, UK and EU, and the aggressive large corporations whose sole interests they promote? We think so, and through this simple act of sharing food in public, we hereby call upon the good, free people of the world to show a better way, a new way forward for us all and all our freedoms.


Please join us for our picnic with the London Guantánamo Campaign (regularly demonstrating outside the US Embassy on Friday evenings) and others, in Grosvenor Square, WC1 (nearest tube: Bond Street), from 6-8pm on Friday 4 July, or why not hold your own?
Project 2012 is a grassroots coalition aiming for human rights compliancy and a democratic EU by 2012.

Declare your independence and reclaim your freedom!

Best wishes
