Free Chelsea Manning Now! Dear Friends The message below was sent by Joey, a member of the San Francisco Pride Board. Please circulate and go on-line to add your comments and support on the sites listed. This victory comes as a result of months of insurrection in support of Manning inside the SF Pride movement, resulting in the ouster of most of the pro-corporate, pro-military Pride Board. The new SF Pride Board voted Feb 4 unanimously to recognize Chelsea Manning as an Honorary Grand Marshal, and also to ban military recruiters from Pride -- victories for Chelsea Manning and for the whole anti-war movement! They are now under attack in the media as a result and deserve our support! |
Please circulate widely and go on-line to add your comments and
support.
The announcement that SF LGBT Pride has
chosen to make Chelsea Manning an Honorary Grand Marshal of the Parade and
Celebration this year is being attacked by commentators in online media sites.
Please lend your voice of support for Chelsea and SF Pride's decision. The pro
military/prosecution people are well organized and we need to show the world
there are many people who support Chelsea and what she did to expose US war
crimes. She put her own freedom in harms way to expose the secrets and lies of
the corporate military insanity.
Here are just a few of the sites that have
reported the story and the comments. You can find more by Google searching
Chelsea Manning sf pride. Please pass this on to any groups or individuals who
can help.
Thanks,
Joey
Military
LGBT activists are "astounded" that San Francisco Pride organizers chose Chelsea
Manning - a.k.a. Army Pvt. Bradley Manning - as honorary parade ...
Other grand
marshals include Ross Mathews and Janet Mock.
The decision
to make the convicted soldier an "honorary grand marshal" of the San Francisco
gay pride celebration is causing a stir.

This blog came into existence based on a post originally addressed to a fellow younger worker who was clueless about the "beats" of the 1950s and their stepchildren, the "hippies" of the 1960s, two movements that influenced me considerably in those days. Any and all essays, thoughts, or half-thoughts about this period in order to "enlighten" our younger co-workers and to preserve our common cultural history are welcome, very welcome.
