Emotional graduation @georgetownsfs with a call to action to free thousands of political prisoners! Like @Georgetown grad Austin Tice detained in Syria since 2012…and so many others. @freedomhouse is fighting for them! We all must speak against injustice…
It’s been almost 11 years since journalist Austin Tice was abducted in Syria — and we won't rest until he’s back with his family, safe and sound.
I’m working with his mother, Debra, and the State Department to ensure the United States is doing all we can to #BringAustinHome.
An important reminder in the Washington Post on 3/26 about journalist Austin Tice's abduction in Syria 10 years ago. Deep thanks to all who continue tirelessly to seek his release. @POTUS@SecBlinken@USEmbassySyria @wppressfreedom #FreeAustinTice#Syria
Full-page ad in the Washington Post, March 5, 2023. Thank you @wppressfreedom for ensuring that journalist Austin Tice is not forgotten, 10 years after his abduction in Syria... #FreeAustinTice#Syria
I think of Austin Tice every time I go to the @PressClubDC. It's time to #BringAustinHome. American journalist Austin Tice has been illegally detained in Syria for more than 10 years.
This is Jeff — Archivist of @PressClubDC. We have 116 years for him to curate. Today he is on F Street raising up the name of Austin Tice. Jeff knows no U. S.journalist in history has been held longer than Austin — nearly11 years. POTUS, Make some history. BringAustinHome
Today newest @PressClubDC employee Cecily Scott Martin from Membership Department caught the wave of enthusiasm for #FreeAustinTice case and went to F Street to take this pic by the new #BringAustinHome banner. Her questions? What are they waiting for and who is waiting?
Today at the #BringAustinHome banner on F Street @PressClubDC member Tom Young who is American Legion Post #20 Commander. @AmLegionPost20 has been the Press Club post for more than a century. They meet monthly. Founded by General Pershing. #FreeAustinTice. A journalist. A Marine.
It’s well past time to #BringAustinHome. The journalist & veteran Marine Corps captain has been held in Syria more than 10 years. Let’s not let a day go by w/o asking the government what effort it is making to bring him home safely. @PressClubDC
This is Miguel Dominguez, Director of Operations @PressClubDC and an American by choice. He is in the weather to call attention to #bringaustinhome banner on F St. When Club was closed for Covid Miguel checked every day to make sure the Austin Freedom Clock was running.
Club Engineer Sal Arias at #BringAustinHome banner on F St. today. He’s been w/us 28 years. Cold out there today. When a room @PressClubDC is cold, Sal fixes it. Today he asked “how cold is the room where Syria is holding Austin.” How do I answer @JakeSullivan46? FreeAustinTice
Mesfin Mekonen, 50 years ago he came to work @PressClubDC tonight after his shift he takes a selfie at the #BringAustinHome banner on F Street. Calling on @jakejsullivan to make contact with Syria and #FreeAustinTice. Good man!
Selfie 2/1/23 by #BringHimHome banner on F Street side of National Press Building. All @PressClubDC members encouraged to do same and call on @jakejsullivan to contact Syria to begin talks to ultimately #FreeAustinTice. They are waiting. So is Austin. So is @PressClubDC.
