Take Action


AGAINST DOCTOR COMPLICITY

    Watch our new Take Action video short
  • Join the many individuals and organizations that have signed the petition to annul the PENS Report policy of the American Psychological Association that blurs the line between good psychological practice and participation in interrogations. Go to www.ethicalpsychology.org
  • If you live in Massachusetts or New York State, you can help stop medical complicity in prisoner abuse and support the doctors who work to prevent torture. Ask your state legislator to support a special anti-torture bill that strengthens health care regulation by state licensing boards. Go to www.whenhealersharm.org or www.physiciansforhumanrights.org.
