Thurston Moore, Tom Morello, Against Me!, Priests, More Featured on New Chelsea Manning Benefit Compilation: Listen

Former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning is scheduled for release from prison tomorrow, May 17, after her 35-year prison sentence for leaking classified information to WikiLeaks was commuted by President Barack Obama before the end of his term. When news of Manning’s release was made public, various artists took to the internet to celebrate the decision. Now, a new compilation has been assembled to benefit Manning as she leaves prison and re-enters the free world. Hugs For Chelsea features songs from Thurston Moore, Against Me!, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, Downtown Boys, Priests, and more, as Rolling Stone reports. The comp is set to feature unreleased music by Ted Leo and Screaming Females as well. Below, find a video of Michael Stipe showing his support for Manning and the compilation.
