Dear Supporters,
On 26 June 2024, Julian Assange became the first publisher to be convicted under the United States Espionage Act for exposing the war crimes of the American Military.
Julian may now be free, but this campaign was never just about Julian. This conviction, the first of its kind, sets a dangerous precedent that threatens press freedom globally and risks the safety of journalists who expose government wrongdoings—the very things Julian risked his life to protect.
We know President Biden is guided by his commitment to the values of the American Republic. As he reflects on his legacy, he is considering the lives he can impact with his presidential pardons. We have a narrow window to advocate for justice.
By granting a pardon to Julian Assange, President Biden can not only correct a grave injustice but also send a powerful message that defending democracy and press freedom remains at the core of his presidency. He can reaffirm America's dedication to truth and the First Amendment.
