Courtney Williams is a U.S. Army veteran who spoke out about the gender discrimination and sexual harassment she endured as a contractor working with a “special military unit” at the Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina. Williams’ disclosures informed the reporting by investigative journalist Seth Harp in his book exposing widespread corruption and abuse at the base, The Fort Bragg Cartel.

Now months after the book’s publication, Williams has been charged under the Espionage Act for allegedly revealing classified information.

Sign the petition calling on the Department of Justice to drop the charges against Courtney Williams immediately.

Trump has unilaterally started yet another unauthorized war in the Middle East. The preemptive and unauthorized military strikes against Iran are costing over $1 billion per day. These strikes have killed civilians including children and damaged civilian infrastructure and targeted senior leaders.

Tonight, the Senate will debate and vote on S.J.Res 118, a joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

Write your Senator: Support this bill, end the war now!

Trump is amassing U.S. war planes and ships in the Middle East. It is the largest build up of U.S. air power in the region since the run up to Bush and Cheney's 2003 invasion of Iraq. According to multiple reports, Trump is on the verge of launching a war against Iran, possibly as early as this weekend.

Although the U.S. stands on the brink of what may be the most consequential military action in over two decades, there has been no public debate nor congressional authorization.

The Daniel Ellsberg Press Freedom and Whistleblower Protection Act would reform the Espionage Act to prevent its use and abuse against journalists, whistleblowers, and the American public in clear violation of the First Amendment and the fundamental right to due process.

Since its adoption in 1917, the Espionage Act has been used to persecute and criminalize political dissent, free speech, and the actions of whistleblowers working with the media to alert the American people about government lies about the Vietnam War, mass surveillance, torture, drone assassinations, and war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Under recent U.S. administrations, use of the Espionage Act to prosecute media sources and whistleblowers acting in the public interest has expanded dramatically. Today, with press freedoms, whistleblowers, and civil liberties under significant attack and government decision making shrouded in increasing secrecy, reining in the abuses of the Espionage Act could not be more urgent.

Ask your Representative to sign on as an original cosponsor of the bill!

Trump has carried out a major assault on our Constitution. Trump carried out a series of bombings on Venezuela before abducting the country's leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife in the dead of night.

Trump has offered no evidence that Venezuela posed an imminent military threat to the U.S., but instead during a rambling address announced the U.S. “would run the country” and discussed plans to take over Venezuela's oil infrastructure.

Congress must act now and invoke the War Powers Act, uphold the Constitution, and stop this war.
