Oggetto: Reminder: We're adding Rome to the 11 cities and 6 countries holding actions for Chelsea Manning
Reminder:
Dear members,
Please join us tomorrow, Thursday the 17th of December, if you can, to wish Chelsea Manning a happy birthday and to show our support for her and all whistleblowers who have been imprisoned and/or persecuted for telling us the truth about our government's culpibility in war crimes, torture and more. With wars raging and continuing to spread, we need less lies and subterfuge from our governments and media. We need to give our full support to whistleblowers like Manning.
Our message will be simple but clear: all imprisoned whistleblowers need to be freed, and in our fight towards this end we will never forget to thank them for their courage.
We'll have signs and a birthday cake and send photos to the organizers below and to Chelsea as well.
When: Thursday, 17 December at 4:30 pm
Where: Bar della Pace, via della Pace 3/7 (near Piazza Navona)
We are also joining activists in six other countries. See below for more info.
See you tomorrow,
U.S. Citizens for Peace & Justice - Rome

Despite mass protest, the UK Parliament has just voted to bomb Syria (see Payday’s letter here<
http://www.refusingtokill.net/UKGulfwar2/Dont%20bomb%20Syria.htm>). Whistleblowers like Chelsea and now former US drone operators have blown the whistle on the killing of civilians during bombing.
We have a responsibility to defend all whistleblowers who are persecuted for telling the truth about murder and war crimes, rape, torture, neglect, underfunding, starvation wages, corruption . . . in the military, prison, detention centres, police, hospitals, care homes, and every institution.
