Julian Assange is finally free! And we are celebrating. To commemorate Julian’s freedom and the activist community around the world that worked tirelessly for many years to help secure his release, Assange Defense hosted 3 events to celebrate and reflect on this important victory in the biggest press freedom case of our lifetime — in New York, Berkeley CA, and here in Washington DC at the Busboys & Poets on 14th and V.
Thank you to the incredible international community of activists who worked together tirelessly to secure Julian Assange’s release. To celebrate, we put together a series of speakers including Julian’s brother Gabriel Shipton, journalist Chip Gibbons, activist Medea Benjamin, whistleblower John Kiriakou, and many more, emceed by musician and activist Eleanor Goldfield.
Thank you to Busboys & Poets for hosting this event and for providing this video recording.
