Occupy The Truth; Whistleblowers Conference

Transparency needs your brain. Whistleblowers need your protection. Fresh Juice Party, Courage to Resist and Bradley Manning Support Network invite you to bring your ideas.

Please join journalists, former military personnel, academics, activists, policy makers, media experts, filmmakers and whistleblowers for an open discussion designed to encourage unexpected interdisciplinary alliances and action.

Join us Friday night for a mixer at 6pm, 7:00 -8:30 panel discussion about Bradley Manning, followed by a rousing sermon by Reverend Billy.

Saturday and Sunday will be a first of its kind activist/expert un-conference mix so expect to be surprised. This will be a unique participant driven environment where we will co-create the agenda for the day. Sharing, networking and creating new alliances will be central to providing strategies and support for whistleblowers.

Come and enjoy the freedom of discussion and mobility of an unconference where serious discussion interplays with an open space atmosphere of creativity and play.

Everyone who attends will receive a book of the proceedings shortly afterwards. Sensitive materials will be treated as such.
