What does Chelsea want for her
28th birthday this week?

This Thursday, December 17th, is heroic WikiLeaks whistleblower Chelsea Manning's 28th birthday-- the sixth year she'll have spent her birthday behind bars for exposing war crimes, and other information that should never have been secret in the first place.

Here are three important ways you can support Chelsea on her birthday:

1. Give the gift of a donation to the Chelsea Manning Defense Fund

Attorneys Nancy Hollander and Vincent Ward are well into the process of preparing for Chelsea's first legal appeal next year. The appeals process has the potential to take decades off Chelsea's 35 year prison sentence. Donate Today!

2. Send her a birthday message:

CHELSEA E. MANNING 89289
1300 N Warehouse Rd
Ft Leavenworth KS 66027-2304

3. Join or create a birthday action in celebration of Chelsea's birthday

Currently, birthday actions are planned all over the world to celebrate Chelsea Manning's Birthday from Dec 17th-Dec 19th. Join candlelight vigils, card-writing meetups, and tabling events in London, Berlin, Oakland, Boston, Bucharest, Vancouver, and even Chelsea's hometown in Oklahoma! Click here for a list of actions world-wide.

Chelsea honored in Advocate's 40 under 40!

"In blogs, tweets, and handwritten letters from prison, the former Army intelligence specialist is still trying to change the world."
"I often hear and read that many people all over the world consider me a ‘whistleblower’ or a ‘heroine.’ This experience can be a little intimidating at times," she tells The Advocate. "That’s an idea that would be a lot to live up to! I don’t feel like I can live up to the expectations of being a ‘heroine.’ I don’t have any special powers or abilities like a comic book super hero. I actually feel a lot more vulnerable than that. In fact, I am very vulnerable. I just try to be myself, and that’s all I aspire to be.” Read more...
