Action for Bradley Manning in DC on 28th

Dear Friends and Bradley Manning Supporters,

 

Thank you for for being one of the 4,140 who signed our petition to serve part of Bradley Manning's sentence. Thanks also to all of you who have told us you are interested in taking further action! This morning, August 21, we were told what sentence Bradley must serve.  There are a number of actions planned today and your best source for information on these is http://www.bradleymanning.org  Here, I will update you on what we have planned for people who signed our petition.

After reading your ideas Kevin Zeese, Malachy Kilbride and I agreed to have Malachy take the lead for the next phase of our plan. He explains the plan, 

"We will deliver the petition you signed to appropriate authorities and request a meeting withthe individual(s) in a policy position who can discuss the sentencing of Bradley Manning with us.  If they refuse to accept the petitions or meet with us, we will continue our peaceful assembly by sitting down and refusing to leave until they meet with us. If you have never done this we are able to provide you with information about the process and how risking arrest works.  If you do not want to risk arrest there will still be a role for you."

We want to draw attention to the fact that many people want to see Bradley Manning pardoned and released from prison. 

The date of the action is Wednesday the 28th of AUGUST. We will gather in Washington, DC and go to The White House. Will you join us?

If you cannot make it to Washington, DC but want to be in solidarity with us actions are being planned around the country also. If you would like find out about these actions or to organize an action in your area let us know. Our gatherings will be peaceful, but we will be defiant in our protest to Bradley's prison sentence demanding he be pardoned and released.

If you have questions about this action, like time and specifics, please contact me at malachykilbride@yahoo.com.

We are doing this to support Bradley but we also want to demonstrate to our government that we support truth tellers, people who promote transparency in government; people who have the courage to report the War Crimes being committed by our country.

Join us. Release Bradley Manning!

 

Charlotte Scot, Malachy Kilbride and Kevin Zeese
