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.

Call the White House now: 202-456-1111

Call today and urge President Obama to pardon Chelsea Manning!

Monday, April 14th, the office of court martial Convening Authority Major General Buchanan publicly rejected Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning's request for clemency. The military has again trampled on civil liberties by providing no accountability for Chelsea's illegal pretrial punishment, lengthy pretrial confinement or undue command influence.

Outrageously, the White House has claimed it won't even respond to Chelsea's request for presidential clemency until after legal appeals are exhausted. We need your help to show President Obama this cowardly stalling tactic won't be tolerated. Call the White House today, and demand that President Obama respond to Chelsea's pardon request before he's out of office!

Call the White House now: 202-456-1111

Alternative number: 202-456-1414

Tell President Obama: Chelsea Manning's 35-year sentence is an injustice. She's a patriot, and she deserves to have her pardon request granted immediately!

In Chelsea's letter to President Obama she wrote:

"The decisions that I made in 2010 were made out of a concern for my country and the world that we live in... We consciously elected to devalue human life both in Iraq and Afghanistan. When I chose to disclose classified information, I did so out of a love for my country and a sense of duty to others."

Chelsea Manning was 22 years old when she was arrested, and has spent the past four years in prison. She doesn't deserve to spend the next 30 years behind bars. Her sentence makes a mockery of American justice. President Obama's White House website states:

"My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government."

President Obama's promises of a transparent government ring hollow when Chelsea Manning has received the longest sentence ever given for sharing information about government actions with the public. Call today and demand she be set free!

Call the White House now: 202-456-1111

Alternative number: 202-456-1414

Tell President Obama: Chelsea Manning's 35-year sentence is an injustice. She's a patriot, and she deserves to have her pardon request granted immediately!
