Taking PRIDE in Bradley Manning With Bradley Manning’s court martial in full swing, LGBTQ community members and allies marched in support of whistle-blower Bradley Manning in Gay Pride parades around the country and world. Supporters organized street theater performances, parade floats, and even a Bradley Manning airplane banner!
In San Francisco, where Bradley was a top contender for parade grand marshal, 1,000 people marched behind a banner reading "Pride in our whistleblower!"
All this public support for Bradley has sent a clear message: more and more Americans are proud to embrace Bradley Manning as a member of their community.
He is a heroic whistleblower, and enough is enough.
Exposing war crimes is not a crime! Free Bradley Manning!

Prosecution rests its case. 
Defense arguments begin July 8th
Supporters of Truth & Bradley Manning fill the courtroom 
A month into the trial, the prosecution has rested its case against Bradley Manning. Supporters watched in the courtroom as the defense held rigorous cross-examinations, successfully preventing circumstantial evidence and unqualified witnesses from entering the court's consideration. 
Now, beginning July 8th the defense will finally have the chance to present its full case in front of Judge Lind. The defense plans to call 40 witnesses of its own, to testify over a period of one to two weeks.
We encourage supporters to attend these proceedings if they can.
(See 5 Reasons to Attend Bradley Manning's trial).
Prior to the court martial Bradley Manning entered a plea accepting responsibility for releasing classified documents in hopes of revealing the true costs of the wars. He hoped to motivate "worldwide debate, discussion and reform".
