UPDATE: We have been able to secure the Billboard and vehicle for another full week for only $500!! With your generous support we can keep the pressure on Anthony Albanese!!! ??? ____________________ The campaign to free Julian Assange needs your help. Help us fund a HUGE billboard in Melbourne, Australia to put pressure on the incoming government to ACT NOW!! There is SOOOO much happening right now in our collective quest to free Julian Assange. - UK Home Secretary Priti Patel’s SIGNED Julian’s extradition to the US where he will face a175 year DEATH SENTENCE!!! Julian’s team have confirmed they will appeal to the High Court. - UK have admitted to illegally spying on Julian’s lawyer and agreed to a settlement - Spanish Court summons former US Secretary of State and CIA director Mike Pompeo to explain CIA plot to assassinate Julian - Critically acclaimed documentary Ithaka: A Fight To Free Julian has been viewed in cinemas around the globe further galvanising support - 19 organisations including Reporters Without Borders, International Federation of Journalists, Big Brother Watch and PEN International have called on UK Home Secretary to reject extradition - Appeals to the High Court and International Court of Human Rights are still available The Free Assange campaign is in the strongest position it has EVER been so we need capitalise on the wave of support coming through from around the globe and pressure the Australian Prime Minister to make good on his expressed sentiment that the "ongoing pursuit of Mr Assange" serves no evident "purpose" and that "enough is enough". Please help us fund this HUGE 6m x 3m mobile billboard for 2 whole weeks leading up to Julian Assange’s 51st birthday and help us STOP his extradition to the USA. We are closer than ever before to securing Julian’s freedom but we must keep the pressure on the Australian government. ______________________ Australian award winning publisher and founder of Wikileaks is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing truthful information about US War crimes back in 2010. Julian is currently being detained in HM Prison Belmarsh which is one of the UK's harshest prison. Only the most hardened criminals are housed here, murderers and terrorists, it is no place for an academic and journalist. Julian has been locked up in solitary confinement-like conditions of over 3 years. On July 3rd it will be Julian's 51st Birthday, his thrid consecutive birthday spend behind bars in Belmarsh. The US government has been relentlessly persuing this case to extradite Julian Assange. In January 2022, Julian Assange lost his appeal at the UK High Court. This now means he can be extradited to the US were he faces up to 175 years imprisonment for exposing truthful US War Crimes. But before that can happen the Home Secretary of the UK Priti Patel must sign off on this decision. For the first time this is NOW strictly a political matter. We now have, for the first time in three years, an opportunity to effect positive change and have the extradition of Julian Assange dropped. And now we have a new Prime Minister in Australia, Mr Anthony Albanese who has previously stated that the "ongoing pursuit of Mr Assange" serves no evident "purpose" and that "enough is enough". We the people need to hold Mr Albanese to his word and have him stand up for free speech, free press and to defend democracy. Julian Assange must be released and free to live the rest of his life without persecution and with his young family. If convicted, his sentence will carry far reaching consequences for journalism and every single person around the world. We must defend free speech, free press and Julian Assange. Free speech matters. We have many things on our side at the moment but we cannot do this without your support. Please donate to help us bring greater attention to the dire circumstance of Julian Assange at this critical time and prevent his extradition to the USA.

Hello beautiful supporters of freedom in truth!! Thanks to your generous contributions to date, We’ve battled against the odds to get the #BillboardForAssange campaign up and running successfully!! We’ve been travelling all over Melbourne raising awareness keeping Julian’s plight front and centre in people’s minds and reminding Anthony Albanese of the words he uttered not so long ago in defence of an innocent award-winning Australian journalist, an Australian hero. The feedback we are receiving on the road is overwhelmingly positive with lots of thumbs up and toots, and people yelling their support for our message so we are definitely achieving what we set out to achieve which is to keep reminding the public an Australian citizen needs our help and that our current prime minister agrees that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! The original vehicle we had locked in for the two week campaign became unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances so we had to scramble to organise an alternative vehicle, a powerful Ute, which we were able to secure through a generous contact at a incredibly low rate of $250 per week ($35 per day) - had to be a vehicle powerful enough to tow the magnificent billboard!! We only require another $300 to cover the ute for the full two weeks rental and anything over this amount will help us with the fuel costs. Thank you once again for your incredible generosity which is making a huge difference in tipping the scales to ensure there is enough public pressure to force our politicians to act.

Thank you so much for your invaluable support! This artwork has now been printed and installed!! Julian’s life hangs by the thinnest of threats but thankfully the world is mobilising and coming to his support. Amnesty international has just issued the rest demand for Julian’s unconditional release and for all charges to be dropped!! We are so close now. Global support has never been greater and critical to force the hand of these weak politicians. Albo MUST remain true to his words and STAND UP for an innocent Australian hero. Thanks to your generous contributions we have now covered the printing costs and the banners are ready and installed!! Thank you!! We still need another $400 to cover the trailer hire for two full weeks - this doesn’t include the vehicle or fuel costs but we will work that out somehow. We always do ? The important thing is to get this message out in the public face and keep raising awareness for an Australian hero who has sacrificed so much for our freedom, and force Albo to do the right thing.
