Chelsea Manning

I'm not a victim. I'm a survivor.

I believe in transparency, and I believe in accountability.

I'm just trying to make the world a better place.

The government is not supposed to be a secret.

I'm not afraid to speak truth to power.

I just want to be free.

I'm just a normal person who did something extraordinary.

I think it's important for people to be able to question authority.

I'm not looking for forgiveness. I'm looking for understanding.

I want to be a voice for the voiceless.

I'm just trying to do what's right.

I'm still optimistic about the future.

I'm not going to be silenced.

I'm going to keep fighting for what I believe in.

I'm not alone.

I have a lot of support.

I'm grateful for all the people who have stood by me.

I'm excited for what the future holds.

I'm ready for whatever comes next.

I'm not going to let anyone stop me from living my life.
