Dear Supporter,
Thank you so much for your generous donation to Chelsea Manning's legal fund.
As you know, Chelsea is still incarcerated for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury. Today, it will have been 43 consecutive days (as of April 19, 2019).
For the first 28 days, Chelsea was held in "Administrative Segregation." More than 15 days of isolation has been defined as "prolonged solitary confinement," and is considered "torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" by the UN General Assembly (

Chelsea's legal team has been working around the clock on her defense, and have submitted an appeal and a bail motion for her release pending appeal to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. Should these efforts prove unsuccessful, the legal team will work to secure other post-contempt relief to win Chelsea's release.
As we all await the court's response, it is our hope that you might be able to make another small contribution to Chelsea's legal fund, to help ensure that her legal team has the resources they need.
Your donations will enable Chelsea's legal team to continue with their tireless efforts, so that Chelsea can once again be free.
Thank you,
The Chelsea Resists Support Committee
