This plan for an urgent "The Day After" demonstration is one we hope you and many more organizations will take up as your own, and mobilize for. Â Â
British Judge approves extradition to Sweden, onward extradition by American government feared
World Can't Wait calls for emergency public demonstration THE DAY AFTER any U.S. criminal indictment is announced against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.  Spread the word and call people to come out, across the whole range of movements and groups: anti-war, human rights, freedom of information/freedom of the press, peace, anti-torture, environmental, students and youth, radicals and revolutionaries, religious, civil liberties, teachers and educators, journalists, anti-imperialists, anti-censorship, anti-police state......
At the Federal Building in San Francisco, we'll form ourselves into a human chain "surrounding" the government that meets the Wikileaked truth with repression and wants to imprison and silence leakers, whistleblowers and truthtellers - when, in fact, these people are heroes.  We'll say:
HANDS OFF WIKILEAKS!
FREE JULIAN ASSANGE!   FREE BRADLEY MANNING!
What:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Join the HUMAN CHAIN AROUND THE FEDERAL BUILDING!
Where:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â New Federal Building, 7th and Mission, San Francisco
When:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 4:00-6:00 PMÂ
                   on The Day FOLLOWING U.S. indictment of Assange
Who:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â YOU, your group, your friends and family, your congregation, all who support resistance to these wars - and all who refuse to live in silence while truth-tellers are hounded and jailed
Bring all your friends - signs and banners - bullhorns.Â
Those who dare at great risk to themselves to put the truth in the hands of the people - and others who might at this moment be thinking about doing more of this themselves -- need to see how much they are supported, and that despite harsh repression from the government and total spin by the mainstream media, the people do want the truth told. Â

"Watching the delirious celebrations in Egypt, and spreading to cities across the region, and the world, you've got to feel the joy. A hated dictator, who until a month or so ago held unchallengeable power, is gone, relatively quickly, through the action of people in the streets. Standing up to the police state, the open on-the-street killing of protesters, the jailing and torture of 10,000 political prisoners as S.O.P., Egyptian youth have opened something up which is doubtless making other repressive governments nervous...
Where this all will go we can't know. But never tell me, again, that protest 'doesn't do any good'. - Debra Sweet
