This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

Join us at Fort
Meade. June 1, 2013
June 1st will mark the beginning of Bradley Manning’s fourth year in prison
and the start of his trial. The June 1st Ft. Meade protest for Bradley Manning will be the
largest action of our campaign! People across the nation (and the globe)
will converge on Ft. Meade to stand up for the Army whistle-blower who risked
everything to give the public real facts about our government’s wars in the
Middle East and foreign policy worldwide.
Join Pentagon Papers whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg, LGBT activist US
Army Lt. Dan Choi, former US diplomat US Army Col. Ann Wright
(ret.), and former soldier Ethan McCord--who rescued the wounded
children in the van in the Collateral Murder video—and hundreds of our
supporters of heroic WikiLeaks whistle-blower Bradley Manning at Ft. Meade.
Together we’ll make history. Visit our new guide to transportation & lodging near Ft. Meade
for help planning your trip.
Buses to the Ft. Meade rally for Bradley are now confirmed from Washington
DC, Baltimore, New York City, Philadelphia, and New Brunswick (NJ). Learn more about buses to the Fort Meade demonstration.
For those unable to travel to Ft. Meade, Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans
Against the War, and the Bradley Manning Support Network, are also calling for
solidarity actions from June 1st-June 8th worldwide. So far events have been
registered in the following cities:
