Bradley Manning Solidarity Weekend
Art by Exiled Surfer
Bradley Manning Solidarity Weekend is a call to socially conscious artists and organizers across the country and world to propel Bradley Manning to pop-culture status through artistic expression before he goes to trial.
Art is an important tool of our organizing strategy, and we encourage art in all forms including, but not limited to, poetry, music, performance art, gallery exhibitions, and artistic public demonstrations.

These dynamic displays of creativity have the potential to substantially challenge and reshape Bradley’s narrative in the eyes of the public while simultaneously raising awareness of the conditions under which he is being held and contributing to his legal defense fund. All of which helps him take the steps toward the freedom he deserves.
Our goal is to put energy into something that will last longer than a protest on a street corner, so get creative! Open mics, concerts, plays, exhibits! Go outdoors! Go public! Go big! Bradley Manning and our country’s future depend on it!

By facilitating art to honor the heroism of Bradley Manning, an openly-gay war-resisting soldier, we help bridge the cultural divides between the greater arts community, the burgeoning LGBTQ rights movement, and the worldwide peace and democratization movements. -OperationAwereness.org
Great idea! I will discuss Bradley’s plight and the larger issues surrounding his detention at an open mic on Friday April 8 and at a house concert on Sat. April 9. Will ask for people to support in every way they can.
