5 | OBJECTIVE | |
6 | - | To expose and project the war crimes that Bradley Manning bravely exposed and build a powerful outpouring in the U.S. and around the world in support of his bravery, creating a political situation where the powers that be must drop the charges on Bradley Manning and must end their war crimes now. World Can't Wait published a full page ad to Close Guantanamo Now in The New York Times last Thursday with the pictures of the men still at Guantanamo who have been cleared for release. Without Bradley Manning, we would not probably not have some of the pictures of these men or know the names of those still at Guantanamo. Two main goals for this twitterstorm. |
6 | + | On the first day of the Pelican Bay Prison hungerstrike and the first day of the defense of Bradley Manning, |
7 | ||
8 | - | 1) Call people out for international days of action on June 1st, the day before Bradley Manning's trial. Especially at Fort Meade Maryland where Bradley Manning will be going to trial. |
8 | + | We Indict the US Government for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity: |
9 | The U.S. government is prosecuting Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden who exposed war crimes and crimes against humanity by the U.S. Now is the time to issue a powerful people's indictment of the crimes of the US government and counter the war on truth tellers. | |
10 | - | 2)Further project the war crimes that Bradley Manning exposed by publishing the Close Guantanamo Now ad in international media and get out Collateral Murder much more widely ( the video that Bradley leaked that shows the U.S. military killing a journalist and other civilians in Iraq from an apache helicopter) |
10 | + | |
11 | We urge people to go out publicly in every way they can think of. Read these indictments aloud on street corners, post them up online and on paper, tweet them, and participate in creative protests to bring the indispensable peoples' voice and actions into this politically intolerable scene. | |
