Chelsea is back in jail - Here's what's going on Chelsea Manning Legal Fund via ActionNetwork.org

Dear Supporter,
Thank you so much for your generous donations in the past to Chelsea's legal fund.
Last Friday, May 17th, was the second anniversary of Chelsea's release from prison, but it's hard to celebrate, because Chelsea is back in jail.
On May 16th, after only 7 days of freedom, Chelsea was forced to go back to court for another contempt hearing, due to a second subpoena for another grand jury.
Chelsea made it clear to the judge for this new federal grand jury, Judge Anthony Trenga, that she would again be refusing to testify. Judge Trenga found Chelsea in contempt of court and not only threw her back in jail, but also imposed fines of $500 a day after 30 days and $1000 a day after 60 days.
Since Chelsea cannot be coerced into testifying, no matter what, her incarceration is completely punitive in nature, and therefore unlawful.
Chelsea & her legal team will continue to fight against this latest cruel attempt by the government to coerce her testimony.
Thanks for supporting Chelsea and her legal team in this fight.
Sincerely,
The Chelsea Resists Support Committee
