Celebrities declare "I am Bradley" in new video

Bradley Manning Support Network. June 19, 2013

While PFC Bradley Manning stands trial at Ft. Meade, MD, pop-culture celebrities declare their support for the Army whistleblower, in a five-minute advocacy video released late yesterday. Produced by the Bradley Manning Support Network, more than 20 Hollywood actors, musicians, and other well-known leaders appear in the new video, titled “I am Bradley Manning.” 

Filmmaker Oliver Stone; actors Russell Brand, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Wallace Shawn, Peter Sarsgaard; musicians Moby, Tom Morello, and Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters; writers Matt Taibbi, Alice Walker, Chris Hedges; and activists Lt. Dan Choi and Angela Davis, and others speak out in the short film, explaining that Manning sought to expose war crimes and inspire debate and reforms. They condemn the “aiding the enemy” charge with which the military wants to imprison him for life, arguing it criminalizes what should be recognized as whistle-blowing.

Bradley backers prioritize efforts

We recently asked you, the supporters of the Bradley Manning Support Network, for feedback in helping us prioritize projects that are not currently funded. We wanted to know what you thought our campaign staff, steering committee, and core organizers, should be doing given our limited resources (we had $45,300 available in the defense fund as of June 1, 2013). Nearly 1,000 of you took the time to complete the online survey. We've listened and are moving forward based on your suggestions!

Take action for Bradley on July 27th

Please join us in what will likely be the last internationally coordinated show of support for Bradley before military judge Col. Denise Lind reads her final verdict--which we expect some time in August. The July 27 "International Day of Action" coincides with the anticipated sentencing phase of Bradley's trial. The outcome of that phase of the trial will result in Bradley receiving any outcome from time served to life in prison.

With a thousand supporters marching on Fort Meade, Bradley Manning’s trial finally began on June 3rd. We're asking supporters to organize events in communities across the globe to do whatever possible to influence the outcome of Bradley’s trial.

The end of July also marks the third anniversary of the release of the Afghan War Diary which revealed the realities of pain and abuse suffered by many thousands in Afghanistan.

Contact campaign organizer Emma Cape at emma at bradleymanning.org if you are interested in organizing a solidarity event or action in your community. Help us send a message to Judge Lind that millions stand with Bradley!
