Join
our Day of Accountability - defend
whistleblowing and speak truth to Convening Authority General
Buchanan!
After three years of confinement, Army whistleblower and Nobel Peace
Prize nominee Bradley Manning’s trial is drawing to a close. Join us before
it's too late on July 26 from
3-5pm at Ft. McNair (near the
Waterfront metro, Washington DC) outside the office of Major General Jeffrey
Buchanan, the authority overseeing Bradley Manning’s court martial.
The information that Bradley gave the public showed us the true human cost of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, exposed the unjust detainment of innocent people at Guantanamo Bay, helped fuel pro-democratic movements in the Arab world, and changed journalism forever. There is no evidence that anyone was harmed as a result of the leaked information, yet Bradley faces life in prison.
This is our opportunity to bring home to Gen. Buchanan the importance of his sentencing decision, not only for fair American justice, but for government accountability, international human rights, and the protection of other whistleblowers, including NSA Edward Snowden.
Enough is enough. The public has a right to know. So join us on Friday, July 26th and let the military feel the heat!!!
P.S. We understand that many supporters work 9-5PM so we are asking you to plan on leaving work early so we can have maximum impact on the base and the Convening Authority.

General Buchanan can
reduce any sentence resulting from a conviction. While he reigns over
Bradley's destiny, we’re calling upon him to do the right
thing!
