Reality needs to know you're out here-Free Reality Leigh Winner Now!

The support Reality needs most right now
Reality Winner’s defense team plans to file an appeal of the ruling in her recent bail hearing, but for the time being, Reality is unjustly behind bars. That’s despite having no criminal record and a spotless record of service in the Air Force, and despite the government’s total lack of material evidence that she poses any kind of threat.
To justify keeping her in jail, the government is trying to turn Reality into a larger-than-life symbol, a vague but terrifying “threat to America” that must be locked up and contained, due process be damned.
We’ve written before about Reality’s courage and patriotism, but it’s equally important to remember that Reality is just a regular person, like any of us, who is facing extremely difficult and scary circumstances.
The government is singling her out for an incredibly harsh and disproportionate prosecution. But beside that, Reality faces the everyday indignities of life behind bars in America’s sprawling prison-industrial complex.
Reality and her fellow inmates have had their medical and dietary needs ignored. They’ve been denied necessary medication, medical treatment, and time outdoors. They’ve had visits arbitrarily cut short or denied. And these are not unique or even uncommon complaints about treatment in any jail or prison.
Take a moment to imagine if this was happening to your daughter, or your sister, or your close friend. Beyond support for her cause, Reality needs our support as a human being.
Let Reality know she's not alone
Reality’s family and friends say her biggest need right now is to hear from her supporters. “My sister is being held in a county jail that does not provide her with adequate nutrition or outside time,” Reality’s sister Britty said. “Reality needs to know that she has friends thinking about her and writing to her.”
It takes regular people committing extraordinary acts of bravery to fight back against a government determined to keep its citizens in the dark. When people decide to put it all on the line, and then face the consequences, they need to know that somebody will be there to have their back.

If you’re able, please donate to Reality’s legal defense fund. She’s committed to proving her innocence in court, and it’s going to be a long haul. Help make sure Reality and her defense team have the resources to go the distance.
