6 Sep, 77 Summer St Boston MA; Bradley Manning Support Demo

G'afternoon everyone!

On 6 Sept from 1:00-(give it your best shot), there will be a demonstration and rally concerning the treatment of Bradley Manning by the military and US government.

It will take place at president Obama's headquarters, 77 Summer St.

Members from various Peace groups, Veterans for Peace, and others will rally and demand that Bradley Manning be exonerated of all charges and freed. We intend this to be strictly about Manning, avoiding peripheral issues, (and we all know there are plenty of those), which can be taken up at other times.

It is our purpose on this day to bring to light the continuing mistreatment and torture of Bradley. We can make our voices heard, the more voices, the better!

I will be covering this for Occupy Boston RADIO, http://www.occupyboston.org/radio/ on the Veterans For Peace radio show.

I will have more info on Monday and post as news become available, as well as put up on the VFP radio show which airs live Mondays at 6pm Eastern, yours truly is the host, and we will have a hardline for calls about the middle of the week.

Keep the faith, we can do what we put our minds to,

Peace,

ras
