Good News from the National Religious Campaign Against Torture!

We have good news to share with you!  Today, thanks in large part to your hard work over many years, the Senate Intelligence Committee voted to release critical portions of its report on CIA torture.  The vote was bi-partisan and it represents a significant step toward ensuring that our government will share the truth about our nation's past use of torture with the public.

This is a victory that deserves to be celebrated.  With this vote, our nation takes a significant step to shine a light on torture and restore human dignity.  Together we have achieved an important milestone in the work to end torture. 

Your advocacy played a critical role since one of your Senators voted to release the report.  Please send a quick email to your Senator thanking him or her for voting to help expose the truth about torture.

However, our work is far from done.  The report will now go to the President and the executive branch for a redaction process before it is made fully public.  And then, once the report is made public, NRCAT and our many allies in Congress and across the country will need to use the information in it to establish safeguards that will permanently prevent the use of torture in the future.
