> Edward Snowden is again in the news as Trump says he is considering pardoning him <https://default.salsalabs.org/T455ce393-6ce4-42a3-9180-4bc7566df1aa/8bad5bfc-271c-4c02-bf41-694046568aa2>. While it is unclear how serious this is, Trump’s comments have launched a renewed debate about Snowden. Snowden is currently charged under the Espionage Act for revealing to the US people the vast extent of the NSA’s mass surveillance programs that directly infringe on our rights. 
> 
> It is outrageous that government officials who engage in abuses of power suffer no consequences, while those who bravely expose these abuses of power are prosecuted under the draconian and archaic Espionage Act. 
> 
> Unfortunately, many of the loudest voices <https://default.salsalabs.org/Td430be7c-9eaa-46ad-863b-df4687ca0b5a/8bad5bfc-271c-4c02-bf41-694046568aa2> in the debate on Snowden have been proponents of surveillance and secrecy.  It’s time to hear from a few whistleblowers and their advocates on why Snowden deserves a pardon.

> Join us for a special virtual conversation, entitled "Pardon Snowden!" <https://default.salsalabs.org/T4e0ed1a0-56e1-4e78-b884-fc87beea494f/8bad5bfc-271c-4c02-bf41-694046568aa2> on Monday, August 24 at 6:00 pm ET with Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who broke the Snowden revelations, the head of ExposeFacts' Whistleblower and Source Protection Program Jesselyn Radack, and NSA whistleblower Dr. Thomas Drake about why - regardless of the motives behind the sandstorm distractions coming out of the White House - Edward Snowden deserves a presidential pardon.
