It’s been 2,965 days since freelance journalist and #MarineCorps veteran Austin Tice disappeared at a checkpoint outside of Damascus, Syria. #FreeAustinTice.
“Every second he stays in captivity cuts a deeper wound in the hearts of my family," his brother Jacob writes, calling on all of us to help: thestate.com/opinion/articl…
We stand with our free press allies and the Tice family in calling for his release. We are asking you, our readers and followers, to join us in this campaign to bring Austin home by Thanksgiving.
Please take a moment to reach out to your representatives in Congress. Ask them to help #FreeAustinTice. actionnetwork.org/letters/freeau…
