Description

Join us at a press conference in support of drone war whistleblower Daniel Hale
Saturday July 17 10:00 am
10th Avenue and W. 30th Street, right below the new Sam Durant sculpture,"Untitled (drone)," on The High Line Plinth. It will be visually interesting including large banners and hooded figures wearing black robes, dramatic papier mache masks and carrying rag-doll children.

Daniel Hale is facing sentencing on July 27 that could bring him 10 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to one charge under the Espionage Act for releasing government documents that showed gross tragic failings of the U.S. killer drone program. More information on Daniel's case can be found at Stand with Daniel Hale.

This two-minute video summarizes Daniel's situation and the deep public significance of his whistle-blowing action. It is representative of the many things that are being done to build public support for Daniel in a political case that is very much like the one facing Julian Assange, one that needs all the press attention that can be generated.

Speakers on July 17 include Debra Sweet, Director, World Can't Wait; Susan Schnall, member national board Veterans For Peace and President of the NYC VFP chapter; Sally Jones, President, Peace Action Fund of New York State: Robert Shetterly, artist and creator of the portrait series "Americans Who Tell the Truth" and Sara Flounders, Co-director, International Action Center.
