Amnesty International: Chelsea must be released 
On July 30th, one of the world’s most important
human rights organizations, Amnesty International condemned
the US government’s blatant over-prosecution and hypocrisy in its handling of
Chelsea Manning’s case:
"The US government must grant Chelsea Manning clemency, order her immediate
release, and implement a thorough and impartial investigation into the crimes
she uncovered.
After being convicted of 20 separate charges Chelsea Manning was sentenced
to 35 years in prison, much longer than other members of the military convicted
of charges such as murder, rape and war crimes.
Before her conviction, Chelsea Manning had already been held for three years
in pre-trial detention, including 11 months in conditions which theUN Special
Rapporteur on Torture described as cruel and inhumane…"

With your support, Manning's legal appeals can help preserve democracy
In his recent statement, Daniel Ellsberg explains the significance of Chelsea Manning's upcoming legal appeals and how you can help:
"I have been waiting forty years for a legal process to at long last prove the unconstitutionality of the Espionage Act as applied to
whistle-blowers (the Supreme Court has never yet addressed this issue).  
This appeals process can accomplish that, and it can reduce Chelsea’s
sentence by decades. But unfortunately, without your help today it will
not happen."
In the last month, we've raised $43,000 of our $100,000 goal!
We need to raise $57,000 by September 1st to ensure
that Chelsea’s team have the resources to fully fight this stage of the
appeals process.
