Dec 18 2006 - 7:00pm Dec 18 2006 - 9:00pm Monday, Dec. 18th 7 pm The Olympia Center - Room 200 222 Columbia St. Suzanne Swift needs our support now. She is currently serving a 30 day sentence in the Brig at Bangor near Bremerton, Washington. After suffering months of severe emotional stress, Swift accepted a plea bargain requiring her to remain in the military until January of 2009. Her rank has been reduced to Private from Specialist, the lowest rank in the Army. Her abusers have not been prosecuted for the crimes of sexual abuse perpetrated against her. She is not receiving adequate mental health care for trauma inflicted upon her after experiencing command rape while serving in Iraq. For more information about Suzanne Swift's case, please visit www.suzanneswift.org. We are having a meeting to organize ways that we can help Private Swift and her family during this difficult time and will be directly addressing how we can help. Everyone is welcome to form this broad coalition. For more information contact ammurano@gmail.com or call (360)485-5745. |
