Free Bradley Manning

We are holding the vigil all day on Saturday, any time of day, on the sidewalks between 4th and 14th streets on Metropolitan Avenue in Leavenworth, Kansas.



We have a park permit from the city for the use of Bob Dougherty Park, second street at Dakota. We have a sound amplification permit from the city. We have informed the city police department of our plans at the park and along Metropolitan avenue. We have arranged for sound equipment, the use of which is being donated by a local activist. We have arranged for port-o-lets. Another activist is paying for them. We have arranged for a pavilion tent for the medical team, and we're bringing in water, gloves, and first aid gear. We have several dozen copies of the constitution/bill of rights for activists to have and share with local police if desired. We were sent several dozen whistles by Code Pink and none of them are pink. We have several dozen posters, several hundred orange stickers, several dozen fliers, and one banner from BradleyManning.org. We are working on a final speaker schedule.



We are personally suggesting that persons wishing to participate in the vigil consider taking up spots along Metropolitan Avenue between 4th street and 14th street, either north or south of the road (which is also a state and US highway) on the sidewalks any time on Saturday 4 June. You do not need a permit to be on the sidewalk. The city police said you don't need a permit to be on the grassy verge between the sidewalk and the street. They say that if you cross onto the property north of the northern sidewalk, you are trespassing on the fort, and subject to arrest. If you don't wish to participate in the rally, but wish to show your support in person, the vigil can go all day, and as long as you wish.



It is a short walk from Bob Daugherty park at 2nd and Dakota to 4th and Metropolitan. If you get tired of the speakers, that's where I'd head.
