The Obama-Biden Justice Department determined that prosecuting Assange would undermine the First Amendment. But Donald Trump tossed out that guidance and launched a case that’s been called the biggest threat to press freedom in generations. Shockingly, President Biden’s Attorney General hasn’t put a stop to this reckless Trump-era crusade. The lifeblood of journalism and our democracy is at stake, but the Justice Department is content to let Assange languish in prison for years as the appeals process slowly winds its way through the courts. Enough is enough. Tell Merrick Garland to respect press freedom and drop the charges! https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/WarOnJournalism
