A cross-country motorcycle ride is being organized in support of Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private accused of treason for sharing classified material with the website WikiLeaks. The week long ride is intended to raise awareness and garner financial support for Manning's plight.

According to the organizer's press release...

Bradley Manning shined the light on war crimes and other unacceptable behaviour in our governement including lying to us the American people about what was going on. There is a time to remain silent and a time to stand up. Bradley stood up and did the right thing. Now we are standing up for Bradley.

The riders will depart San Francisco on June 29th and arrive in Washington DC on July 4th. They will be riding most of the route along I-80 and I-70. The route certainly isn't the most scenic- the emphasis is on being expedient and highly visible.

Ride for a whole day, ride across your own state, ride between two cities. For more information on organizing a ride in your area or participating contact [email protected] or Aimee at 541.929.3203 by phone.
