Torture Awareness Month Update: 5 NJ Delegations!

Dear NJ Amnesty Activists,

There are now five New Jersey congressional district meetings planned for “Torture Awareness Month”! We will be joining activists across the nation in urging Congress to support legislation against extraordinary renditions, the process of transferring custody of a prisoner to a government known to commit torture.

You can sign up to join one by clicking HERE. See the list below to see which Members of Congress are being lobbied. If you don’t live in districts 2, 3, 4, or 5, please consider joining the team that is visiting Senator Menendez’s office in Newark.


2nd District
Rep. Frank Lobiondo
Faith Penrose, Egg Harbor City

3rd District
Rep. Jim Saxton
Christian Sailer, Barnegat

4th District
Rep. Chris Smith
Larry Ladutke, Whiting

5th District
Rep. Scott Garrett
Antony Van der Mude, Hackettstown

Statewide Delegation
Sen. Robert Menendez
Bennet Zurofsky, Newark

Even if you can’t join a delegation, please support us by calling Congress and writing letters-to-the-editor supporting HR 952 and S 654, the legislation against extraordinary renditions.

Thank you,
Larry Ladutke
NJ Legislative Coordinator, AIUSA
