On 26 June 2024, Julian Assange became the first publisher to be convicted under the United States Espionage Act for exposing the war crimes of the American Military.

Julian may now be free, but this campaign was never just about Julian. This conviction, the first of its kind, sets a dangerous precedent that threatens press freedom globally and risks the safety of journalists who expose government wrongdoings—the very things Julian risked his life to protect.

Help us correct this grave injustice by calling for a pardon for Julian. As President Biden’s term nears its end, join us in urging him to grant Julian Assange a full pardon.

To make your email have the greatest impact possible, please take a few minutes to write a personal message to your Representative.

Here is a structure you could follow with some key points to elaborate on:

  • Begin the email by telling your Representative that you are contacting them to affirm First Amendment rights for journalists by cosponsoring H. Res. 934, which urges the Department of Justice to drop all charges against award-winning Australian journalist Julian Assange.
  • Mention that prosecuting Julian Assange threatens the First Amendment. If Julian is convicted, future administrations could use the precedent to prosecute journalists globally for doing their job by publishing truthful information.
  • Let them know that press freedom groups, mainstream publishers, and human rights organizations around the world oppose the U.S. prosecution of Julian Assange.
  • Add why you believe journalism is not a crime.
  • Finish the email by asking your Representative to stand up for press freedom by signing on as a cosponsor of H. Res. 934.
