Whistle-blower's sentence to be read
tomorrow, Aug. 21, 10am

Take to the streets in your community!

  • At Fort Meade, join us at the Main Gate (US 175 and Reece Rd., Ft. Meade, MD) for a 7:30 am to 9:00 am vigil.
  • Following sentencing tomorrow, join the Bradley Manning Support Network for a press conference near Fort Meade at approximately 1:30 pm with Bradley’s attorney David Coombs. Location TBA to courtroom attendees, and on bradleymanning.org immediately after sentencing.
  • Join is in Washington DC for a rally at the White House at 7:30 pm tomorrow, Wednesday, August 21.

David Coombs, lead attorney for WikiLeaks whistle-blower Pfc. Bradley Manning, will give a statement and answer questions from the press, three hours after military judge Colonel Denise Lind delivers Manning's sentence. Supporters are encouraged to attend.

At a location minutes away from Ft. Meade (TBA), Mr. Coombs will respond to the sentence and discuss upcoming legal avenues of redress for his client. This will be the first time since 2010 that Mr. Coombs has taken questions from the press regarding this case.

The Bradley Manning Support Network will also provide a brief overview of our efforts moving forward to free Manning, including financial backing for all possible legal avenues of redress. Immediately, this includes a clemency appeal to the court martial Convening Authority Major General Jeffery Buchanan.

Supporters of Manning will hold a vigil at the Fort Meade gate prior to sentencing, and will rally at the White House at 7:30pm the evening of sentencing, with a march to follow.

Background: Bradley Manning, a 22-year-old Army Specialist stationed in Baghdad at the time of his arrest in May 2010, released hundreds of thousands of classified military and diplomatic documents to the transparency website WikiLeaks. Manning explained to the court in a February 28, 2013, statement that he did so in order to spark debate and reforms regarding U.S. foreign policy, specifically the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was acquitted of "Aiding the Enemy," but found guilty of several counts of Espionage, Computer Fraud, and Federal Theft. He faces a maximum potential sentence of 90 years in prison, but military justice requires no minimum.

The Bradley Manning Support Network continues to be responsible for 100% of Manning's legal fees, as well as international education efforts. Funded by over 22,000 individuals, the Support Network has mustered $1.4 million in Manning's defense.

To support our efforts to free Bradley during this next phase of struggle, please donate.

Worldwide call to action
Tomorrow, Wed., Aug. 21

Take action in your community!

Washington DC: Rally at the White House, 7:30 pm, Wednesday, August 21.

Immediately following the sentencing announcement tomorrow of heroic WikiLeaks whistle-blower Bradley Manning by the military court at Fort Meade, Maryland, join us in the streets to demand, "President Obama: Pardon Bradley Now!"

Many communities have a historic gathering location, such as a downtown intersection, central park, or other visible location. Please spread the word for folks to join you immediately following the sentencing to celebrate, protest, and/or simply show your support for Bradley.

We will likely have one day notice before sentencing occurs, so we’ll have some heads up. If it takes place in the morning, we suggest gathering that evening. If it takes place in the afternoon or evening, we suggest the following day. Same-day events are more likely to be covered by your local media in conjunction with the national breaking story of Bradley’s sentencing. Please contact the Support Network for posters, stickers, and info cards.

Our primary message for these response rallies: “President Obama: Pardon Bradley Manning”

Help us continue to cover 100%
of Bradley's legal fees! Donate today.
