Event Description:

Chelsea Manning is gearing up to fight for her freedom, and government accountability, during her legal appeals. She's will appeal her unjust 35 year sentence all the way up to the Supreme Court if necessary, and well-known civil rights attorney Nancy Hollander has been chosen as the woman for the job.
Join us Sunday, April 13th to hear how Ms. Hollander plans to fight back against the government's war on whistleblowers, and win greater protections for Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and others. Chelsea Manning Support Network staff will also explain ongoing efforts to support Manning in the face of her gender transition and college education.

About the Speakers:

Nancy Hollander was chosen by the National Law Journal in 2001 as one of the nation’s 50 top women litigators. Additional speakers for the event will be Hollander’s law partner Vincent Ward, NSA whistle-blower Thomas Drake, and FBI whistle-blower Mike German. Drake blew the whistle on illegal wire-tapping, fraud and abuse at the NSA, and Mike German alerted congress to problems with the FBI’s counterrorism operations, before becoming a senior advisor to the American Civil Liberties Union.
