On Sunday, June 28th, Courage to Resist and the Chelsea Manning Support Network organized more than 100 supporters to represent our hero in the 2015 San Francisco Pride Parade!
In 2013, the Chelsea Manning contingent was awarded the highest honor, “The Absolutely Fabulous Overall Contingent”. That contingent was the largest non-corporate group with well over 1,000 people! And last year, Chelsea Manning was honored as an official Parade Grand Marshal! With Chelsea’s legal appeals beginning soon, she needs your support more than ever! This year we once again showed that Chelsea will not be forgotten, and we’ll keep organizing until she is free!
