#CODEPINK Demands #Biden Pardon the #Activists and #Whistleblowers

Dec. 18, 2024

"CODEPINK calls for the pardon of several political prisoners, activists, lawyers and other individuals who faced targeted prosecution or unjust imprisonment. President Biden has just over 30 days left in the Oval Office where he can exercise his pardon power. In recent weeks, he pardoned his own son, fraudsters, and a former judge who took millions in kickbacks to send children to prison under false charges. We demand President Biden issue pardons to whistleblowers, truth tellers, activists, and land-defenders such as:

"CODEPINK believes that to build a more just and peaceful world, we have to protect the people and our planet. The United States has a long history of repression, unjust prosecution, and wrongful imprisonment of activists who strive to make the world a better place.

"Figures like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, John Kiriakou and other whistleblowers who faced prosecution for telling the world the truth about the US military, CIA torture, or the US surveillance apparatus have done the people of the world a great service. Their bravery and great personal sacrifice shed a light on grave injustices that were being carried out in the name of the American people without their knowledge.

"Indigenous activists like Leonard Peltier who’s case was riddled with recanted statements from key witnesses and other due process issues, is serving two consecutive life sentences at the age of 80. He’s been in prison since 1976 and maintains his innocence.

"Steven Donziger, a lawyer that fought on behalf of the indigenous people of the Ecuadorian amazon against Chevron’s harm to their land, faced prosecution as a retaliation from the Chevron company. Activists defending our earth and our rights and individuals shedding light on injustice play a vital role in our mission to educate on war and imperialism. We send them our solidarity.

"We also recognize the prison system in the United States as a tool of the war economy that disproportionately prosecutes and locks-up poor people and people of color. As an organization, we teach that the war industry, prison industry, and all oppressive systems in the U.S. are interlinked.

"Free all political prisoners, end repression of peace and justice advocates!"

Imagine if CodePink had more than just a few hundred activists.


The only true antiwar group in the US who wasn't a front for DNC or other groups like MoveOn .

They are hated by both republicans and democrats who are more loyal to Israel than their own country.

In a previous clip, US Senator Marco Rubio, who is expected to serve as Secretary of State in the next #Trump administration, said in response to a question from a pro-Palestinian citizen that he is not calling for a ceasefire in #Gaza, and is calling for the elimination of all #Hamas elements, describing them as “feral animals” for allegedly committing “horrific crimes.” He said that he blames #Hamas for the deaths of civilians in #Gaza, and says that he is calling on #Hamas to stop hiding behind civilians, adding that #Hamas knew this would lead to this, so it must stop building its #military facilities under #hospitals, “according to his claim.

🚨H.R. 9495 is a dangerous attack on nonprofits, especially those challenging U.S. support for the genocide in #gaza as well as pro-choice and environmental groups.

This bill would give the president unprecedented authority to strip tax-exempt status from any nonprofit deemed a “terrorist supporting organization” without any evidence. This is a blatant attempt to stifle activism and our civil liberties.

“Right now, the movement for # Palestinian liberation is facing smear campaigns, legislation targeting activists, surveillance, and even unlawful arrests. #CODEPINK ers have been unlawfully assaulted and arrested for their activism on Capitol Hill, signaling this larger state of repression.” #Gaza #Palestine https://www.codepink.org/blockthebill
