Solidarity actions encouraged!

For those unable to attend the events at Ft. Meade, we are calling for solidarity actions at military recruiting office nationwide. We ask that you take photos of your group holding “We are Bradley Manning” signs, or a similarly supportive message, and then mail that to the following officials:

Army Chief of Staff
General Raymond Odierno

President Barack Obama

E-mail [email protected] to have your event listed on our worldwide roster. After the event, when mailing your photo to the above officials, please include a brief letter of explanation. For example,

“We gathered on November 27, 2012 in front of the recruiting center in (city, state) to protest the mistreatment of military whistle-blower PFC Bradley Manning. Whistle-blowers play an important role in a democracy, and by revealing evidence of unpunished war crimes, as well as secret corporate influence on U.S. foreign policy,Bradley Manning acted in the interest of American citizens. We are appalled by the nine months Bradley was forced to spend in solitary confinement at Quantico, VA in addition to the fact he will have spent over 900 days in prison before receiving a trial. Please free Bradley Manning.”
