Celebrate Political, Gender, and Decolonial Liberation

May 17, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Whistleblower Chelsea Manning and Puerto Rican independence activist Oscar López Rivera will be released as U.S. political prisoners after having their sentences commuted. This could not have happened without steady pressure from social movements which have been calling for their freedom for years. The PSC GC solidarity team will be holding a variety of events today to celebrate their contributions to creating a more just world. Stop by our table in the GC lobby to write cards of encouragement to Chelsea and Oscar, or come to a film screening and share your thoughts on our post-it note wall!
