CHELSEA MANNING (DJ set)
WikiLeaks hero/legend/icon takes a break from her book tour to shell down at Strange Brew: it’s Amens 4 Trans Pride with SNOG and TPSW
Chelsea Manning worked as an intelligence analyst for the U.S. military where she disclosed classified documents to WikiLeaks, revealing severe human rights abuses and corruption in U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. After being sentenced to 35 years in a military prison for standing up for what’s right, she publicly identified as a trans woman and asserted her legal rights to medical care. Released early in 2017, she has continued her work as a technologist, network security expert, analyst, and activist, showing the world that through bravery and determination we can all act to make urgent change.
But there is another exciting side to Chelsea, now coming to light: in a recent interview with Anthony Fantano, Chelsea revealed that while studying at a military school in Wales, she would travel down to Bristol for DnB freeparties, where she discovered a love for DJing and rave culture that sowed the seeds for her political leap. When SNOG found this out and asked her if she’d come back once again to DJ at the official Trans Pride Afterparty, she was only too happy to complete the transition from intelligence agent to inSHELLigence SLAYgent for us
