Ask Your Local Paper to Cover the Bradley Manning Trial-July 16


Pfc. Bradley Manning’s next pre-trial hearing is July 16th.

Unfortunately the corporate media has been decidedly silent on his case. We need to bring Manning’s story to a wider audience before his court-martial to shed light on the government’s attempts to steamroll him to an unjust conviction on outrageous charges including ‘aiding the enemy.’

With your help, we can start a national conversation about what a guilty verdict in this case could mean for future whistleblowers, journalists and activists.

Can you write letters to the editor encouraging your local media to provide coverage of the Bradley Manning trial and start a conversation about this case?http://action.firedoglake.com/page/speakout/manning-coverage
