Tell Pres. Obama: PVT Manning deserves clemency!
Private Manning Support Network

Tell President Obama: Private Manning deserves clemency!

Please sign the White House petition now (Having trouble? See below!)
manning August 26, 2013, By attorney David Coombs and the Private Manning Support Network (formerly the Bradley Manning Support Network). Clarification on PVT Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning's request regarding her gender and name. With your continued support, our network will continue its advocacy efforts in support our heroic WikiLeaks whistle-blower. Note: The image above is PVT Manning's current favorite photo of herself.

Last week American democracy took a tragic step back, when a military court was allowed to sentence heroic Army whistleblower PVT Manning to 35 years in prison. As we wrote in our joint statement with Amnesty International, “The prosecution of Bradley Manning starkly contrasts to the US government’s repeated failure to deliver justice for serious human rights violations committed during counter-terror operations of the past decade.”
As PVT Manning files a formal request for pardon, now is the time for supporters to call on President Obama to improve his record by granting PVT Manning's request. Only a massive outpouring of public support will convince the Administration that PVT Manning deserves clemency.

Please follow the directions below to sign our petition now, and tell President Obama: “To reduce this blight on the US human rights record… grant Manning clemency for time served, protect whistleblowers, and provide accountability for crimes like those Manning exposed.”

This is the first of many actions our Support Network will organize to promote clemency for PVT Manning. It is also the most important action you can take right now. So please sign and share widely!
