Of Interest:
Pre-order Book "In defence of Julian Assange"
It is critical now to build support for Assange and prevent his delivery
into the hands of the Trump administration. That is the urgent purpose
of this book. A wide range of distinguished contributors, many of them
in original pieces, here set out the story of Julian Assange and
WikiLeaks, the importance of their work, and the dangers for us all in
the persecution they face. In Defense of Julian Assange is a vivid,
vital intervention into one of the most important political issues of
our day.
An important note!! All royalties go to @couragefound to support Julian
Assange!
