Rally to Support Bradley Manning
Concerned citizens, including members of North Texas Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, CodePINK Greater Dallas, and The Dallas Peace Center will join activists across the country on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 to rally in support of Bradley Manning.

We believe the public deserves to know the truth.
