Mass Demo at start of Bradley Manning’s trial at Ft. Meade!
by Open-Publishing - Thursday 30 May 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.
Speakers for the rally will include Daniel Ellsberg, Pentagon Papers whistl...eblower; Ethan McCord, the soldier who saved the children attacked in the Collateral Murder video released by WikiLeaks; Col. Ann Wright, the most senior State Department official to resign in protest of the Iraq war; Sarah Shourd, hiker imprisoned by Iran turned prisoner rights activists; and Lt. Dan Choi, prominent anti-Don’t Ask Don’t Tell activist featured on the Rachel Maddow show.
Schedule:
• 1pm Gather (Reece Road and US 175, Fort Meade, Maryland)
• 1:30pm Introductory Speakers
• 2pm March/Action
• 3pm Rally and Speak Out
Sponsored by the Bradley Manning Support Network, Veterans for Peace, and Iraq Veterans Against the War organization, with the help of Courage to Resist and many other groups. After more than three years of imprisonment, including nine months of torture, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Bradley Manning’s trial is finally scheduled to begin June 3, 2013, at Fort Meade.
The outcome of this trial will determine whether a conscience-driven 25-year-old WikiLeaks whistle-blower spends the rest of his life in prison. Bradley believed that the American people have a right to know the truth about what our government does around the world in our name. We the People must send a message to the military prosecuting authority, and President Obama, that Bradley Manning is the kind of hero and patriot we want and our country needs.
