WATCH: Assange US Tour Comes to Minnesota

Minnesota is the next stop for Julian Assange’s father and brother on their U.S. tour. Watch the event live here Monday at 3 pm EDT. 

Free Speech, Freedom of the Press, & the
Fight for Economic and Racial Justice

Live from Minnesota’s East Side Freedom Library (ESFL) in St. Paul, a panel of local independent journalists in conversation with Julian Assange’s father and brother, John and Gabriel Shipton, on their nationwide #HomeRun4Julian tour to advocate for the release of Assange, detained in Britain since 2012, and for the Biden administration to drop the U.S. government’s extradition efforts. Tune in at 3 pm EDT, 2 pm Central.

The U.S. tour is sponsored by the Courage Foundation (couragefound.org) which supports whistleblowers and journalists “who risk life or liberty to make significant contributions to the historical record.” ESFL and Women Against Military Madness (WAMM) have come together to host two events which highlight the broader implications that Assange’s prosecution has for global press freedom. The ESFL panel of independent journalists have been engaged in telling the stories of struggles for racial and economic justice. They include Janis Lane-Ewart, Sheila Regan, Petros Haile and Cirien Saadeh.

    I can’t seem to find any details about the tour stop in Los Angeles on June 28-29. I would love to attend if I can find out any info about it.

    Save Assange or submit to an Orwellian dictatorship run by the rich and powerful that will make China’s autocracy look like a kids tea party.

    Thank you ConsortiumNews for almost exclusively leading media support for this effort to promote the release and freedom of Julian Assange; Robert Parry must be looking down with great pleasure and pride that his legacy lives on.

    We all need Julian back in the arms of his family and then, hopefully, returning to the helm of Wikileaks.

    Truman was correct when he expressed regret over the establishment of the CIA. When I first read about the events leading up to Assange’s arrest, I thought, CIA planned and executed.

      It may be interesting to question rather Truman did actually regret his association with the Dulles brothers, John Foster & Allen, or was his “expressed regret” a convenient political afterthought; similar to Ike’s more popularized parting sincere concerns about the impending dangers of “the military-industrial complex”.
      Be aware of the possibility of fabricated legacies that can convert history’s deadliest corruptions into benevolent and heroic actions.
