What set a dangerous&nbsp;precedent&nbsp;was the US prosecuting a journalist in the first&nbsp;place! The war on journalists\/journalism is not over. We need to remind our representatives to be more vigilant so that future&nbsp;journalists challenging&nbsp;power won&#8217;t be prosecuted! The&nbsp;campaign is also calling on legislators, journalists and activists to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.truthdig.com\/articles\/until-julian-assange-is-pardoned-press-freedom-remains-at-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">push for a pardon now<\/a>. Together we will write a few postcards on Wednesday.&nbsp; Asking our&nbsp;reps to defend press&nbsp;freedom and push the Biden administration to pardon Julian Assange are&nbsp;good messages to give to our representatives. It is an election year and the postcards were designed with &#8216;Elections 2024&#8243; in mind!&nbsp;&nbsp;Hope to see you Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Susan McLucas and Paula Iasella<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Signal boosting this event from Boston Area Assange Defense and organizers Susan McLucas and Paula Iasella.
