Donations Flooding In For Chelsea Manning’s Court Appeal (Give everything you can)

An ongoing, extremely successful fundraising campaign to help fund Chelsea Manning‘s appeal surpassed a matching goal within days, and will allow the whistleblower, who is imprisoned for leaking military documents and information, and her legal team to to be better prepared for an upcoming appeal.
According to Mint Press News [1]:
Manning leaked hundreds of thousands of documents to WikiLeaks in 2010, revealing the inner workings of American diplomacy and warfare. Her leak included “Collateral Murder,” a video showing U.S. helicopters firing on and killing a group of people that included two Reuters journalists and a family of bystanders that attempted to rescue the victims.
After the government subjected Manning to solitary confinement and other conditions many argue were torture, a military court convicted her of violating the Espionage Act and sentenced her to 35 years in prison in August 2013. She is currently serving her sentence at an Army installation at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
