Get on a bus for Bradley on June
1st
The campaign to free Army whistle-blower Bradley Manning has stayed strong
for three long years, thanks to your support. From thousands of letters and
calls directed to top military officials, to hundreds of protests around the
world, including at Quantico which led to Bradley being transferred to more
humane prison conditions, supporters have gathered together to give Bradley a
real chance at the life he deserves.
Now we are asking you to join us at the
gates of Fort Meade, where Bradley's trial will begin.
Join us at Ft. Meade, MD on June 1, 2013, for a
mass demonstration in support of the heroic 25 year-old
soldier who exposed war crimes and disturbing foreign policy through the
whistleblowing website WikiLeaks. Bradley Manning will have spent over three
years in prison by the start of his trial -- 11 months of which were spent in
solitary confinement. The UN has issued a report calling his treatment cruel,
inhuman and degrading.
Top military officials have the power to reduce Bradley’s sentence. However,
they have done everything in their power to distract public attention from this
case. Reporters have complained they have less access to these proceedings than
Guantanamo Bay military tribunals. Let's show the military and President Obama
the public support that exists for our most prominent American whistle-blower,
Nobel Peace Prize nominee Bradley Manning! Don't let the military get away with
unjust persecution, abuse, and sending a whistle-blower to prison for life.
Bradley is in prison for us, let's get out to Ft. Meade for him!
