Equality Federation Calls for Clemency for Chelsea Manning

January 14, 2016

Equality Federation supports commuting Chelsea Manning’s court-martial sentence to time served and calls on President Obama to grant her clemency petition. Chelsea has served longer than anyone else with similar charges, and as a transgender woman, has been treated inhumanely and denied fair treatment.

Tweet the President: “Mr. President: Please grant clemency to Chelsea Manning! @whitehouse @barackobama”

Call the President:
Comments: 202-456-1111
Switchboard: 202-456-1414

In December, the ACLU and several national LGBT groups issued a letter to President Obama calling for the same, and we stand in strong solidarity with this request.
