Here is the Australian Prime Ministers latest comments on Julian(yesterday). Later this month he will be in Washington DC on a state visit. https://image.nostr.build/e3c7f187172f822f17b52830ea707e3cd6b2f1128986a1b168a1d447957870b9.jpg

Hi Gabriel, a big shout out to you and Stella for pushing this cause with so much resilience. What Julian Assange has done for the world globally carries so much of weight. A suggestion is to build campaigns around “topics” while having Assange and @Snowden in mind. These topics they are passionate about - on transparency, political inventions, suppression of media, privacy - these are hot and important topics. And not spoken about enough. How do we make these topics go viral ? Spread like wildfire? To a point school kids globally debate about it, colleges rally about it - journalist starts opening up about suppression, politicians expose dirty little secrets, memes shared, stand up comedians, podcast host talking about it etc. How do we also visually explain the harm of these suppression? These are a few good books on this - Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell Contagious by Jonah Berger Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath I'll share some pocket briefs on it below. I think building campaigns around these topics creates more talking points, and subsequently becomes a stronger argument for Assange and Snowden (and just about everyone suppressed) to be free . When people start talking about these issues, they gain awareness which helps with the cause. And hopefully it spreads to a point gov'ts cannot ignore it anymore and have to take humane actions. https://habla.news/u/pamela@iris.to/1695820006086 https://habla.news/u/pamela@iris.to/1696300625458
