Thank you for supporting Julian Assange, Eleonore! <3
Please tell me why my email is assumed to be “evil” now when I have only:
1) Demonstrated for Julian and given all credits to bayaction2freeassange.org.
2) Attended your demonstrations and had my signage during those deonstrations publisized.
In other words,
I have been on your side and seek to help Julian Assange in any way I can.
Why, then, do you flag my postings in such a negative way?
This is crazy, Greg- I’m so sorry! I just emailed you. I hope it goes through! I was explaining how email systems with anti-spam filters are constantly asking us to unsubscribe people. I’m not sure why you got a weird message from this site’s filter and it is so frustrating! I’m also not sure how this system is flagging your posts as we would LOVE your postings! Call me?
As a former political prisoner of a military dictatorship I oppose the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States and all of the international shenanigans involved in order to keep him in jail.
As for Assange’s politics and his reporting, he is a mix bag; some of his reporting about Latin America were very dubious and many times coincided with imperialist propaganda.
Having said that, there’s no reason for keeping him in jail.
I can only imagine all you must have gone through, Antonio, and I’m so sorry! We are grateful for you to share your support of Julian as a person who understands harsh, unfair conditions. As for his reporting, Wikileaks has a 100% accuracy history without ever needing a retraction. Julian himself is known for his accurate portrayal and concern for truth- hence resulting in his current plight for publishing truth. I hope one day for you to have a conversation with him! Meanwhile, you can write to him: writejulian.com for specific instructions. All the best and thanks again!

Is there any kind of registration for attending the live event?
No registration needed- just show up and donate at the door if you can. Thanks for asking!
I will be in attendance in Oakland. Just a tip, but your flyer is a black background and I cannot print it out because it will use all of my black ink, which is expensive for a working class supporter. Also, black background is hard to read, despite its dramatic appearance.
You are absolutely right and we apologize! The graphics displayed are not usually made for print– but they should be. Thank you and thanks for supporting Julian Assange!
