BG has been wrongfully detained for 161 days and there have been a few big developments. Yesterday, she testified on her behalf, Secretary of State Blinken confirmed a trade is on the table & Time Magazine has put Brittney on the cover. So as we wait to see how all of this unfolds we will continue to share BG’s story. We will continue to push to get her home. She doesn’t deserve what’s happening to her period. I don’t need to read off her resume y’all know her credits which are none bigger than her being an Olympian.
