Call the White House now: 202-456-1111

Call today and urge President Obama to pardon Chelsea Manning!


Monday, April 14th, the office of court martial Convening Authority Major General Buchanan publicly rejected Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning's request for clemency. The military has again trampled on civil liberties by providing no accountability for Chelsea's illegal pretrial punishment, lengthy pretrial confinement or undue command influence.
Outrageously, the White House has claimed it won't even respond to Chelsea's request for presidential clemency until after legal appeals are exhausted. We need your help to show President Obama this cowardly stalling tactic won't be tolerated. Call the White House today, and demand that President Obama respond to Chelsea's pardon request before he's out of office!

Tell President Obama: Chelsea Manning's 35-year sentence is an injustice. She's a patriot, and she deserves to have her pardon request granted immediately!


In Chelsea's letter to President Obama she wrote:
"The decisions that I made in 2010 were made out of a concern for my country and the world that we live in... We consciously elected to devalue human life both in Iraq and Afghanistan. When I chose to disclose classified information, I did so out of a love for my country and a sense of duty to others.
Chelsea Manning was 22 years old when she was arrested, and has spent the past four years in prison. She doesn't deserve to spend the next 30 years behind bars. Her sentence makes a mockery of American justice. President Obama's White House website states:
"My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government.  We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government."
President Obama's promises of a transparent government ring hollow when Chelsea Manning has received the longest sentence ever given for sharing information about government actions with the public. Call today and demand she be set free!

Will you help us fight this injustice?
