Cheers!

At the United Nations Climate Change Conference in December 2011, the United States delegation obstructed any meaningful negotiations over the growing climate change crisis, not only refusing to act but preventing other countries from taking steps to save the planet.

As Todd Stern, the top US negotiator, began to speak at the U.N. summit for first time, Middlebury College student Abigail Borah interrupted the proceedings, saying, "The US government does not speak on my behalf."

On Monday, August 16th New Yorkers will show support for Pfc. Bradley Manning, accused by the U.S. military of leaking the video called "Collateral Murder" to the website WikiLeaks.  The footage, made public in April 2010, shows US Army Bravo Company 2-16 killing civilians in Bagdad in July 2007. 
 
Manning, originally from Crescent, Oklahoma, is being held in the brig at Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia after being charged in June with being the source of the leak. A 22-year-old intelligence analyst stationed in Iraq, he is accused of disclosing a classified video depicting American troops in Iraq shooting civilians from an Apache helicopter in 2007. Twelve people were killed, including two Reuters employees, and two children were critically injured. No charges have been filed against the soldiers who did the killing. 
 
News sources have also speculated about Manning's involvement in the leak of over 91,000 secret documents (collectively known as the Afghanistan "War Diary") made public by WikiLeaks, a website that publishes leaked material anonymously. Debra Sweet, National Director of World Can't Wait said: "Whoever leaks information showing war crimes by the US military is doing the world a great service by shortening the time until the US ends the occupations of Iraq and Afganistan.  Bradley Manning should be released whether or not he had anything to do with exposing the underside of the US occupations to the world."

The action is being organized locally by World Can't Wait, Veterans for Peace, Code Pink, the International Action Center, and the Answer Coalition.
