Subject: 'About Face' tour highlights Bradley Manning campaign on East Coast
To: kmedina67 at gmail.com


After debuting our new book, About Face: Military Resisters Turn
Against War at the Veterans for Peace conference in Portland last
month, we are ready to hit the road! Courage to Resist staff and
contributors to the book will be spending the next few months
traveling around the U.S. meeting with veterans groups, holding public
events, and raising awareness about military resistance.

About Face (the book), is now available directly from Courage to
Resist for only $20 (free shipping).

For the upcoming September events, Bradley Manning Support Network
organizer Emma Cape will be speaking about the case of alleged
WikiLeaks whistle-blower PFC Bradley Manning, who has been imprisoned
for over a year without trial.  Key points of the presentation
include: 1) the content of the leaked documents, which have been
mentioned in over a third of all New York Times editions of the past
year, 2) the WikiLeaker's motivations, as revealed in chat logs
attributed to Bradley Manning by the FBI, 3) development of the case,
including the UN's attempt to investigate alleged torture of PFC
Manning in Quantico, VA and 4) the growing international campaign to
support Bradley Manning, who many view as the greatest war crime
whistle-blower since Daniel Ellsberg released the Pentagon Papers.

Please come out and support our staff during these events! If you'd
like more information or would like us to come and speak in your area,
please call or email Jen Angel, jen at aidandabet.org, 510-910-5627.
