The effort, which is organized by the ACLU, Amnesty International, and
Human Rights Watch, will gather signatures from regular people and
endorsements from celebrities. Snowden will speak by video link from
Moscow at a press conference on Wednesday morning in New York, and an
initial list of "prominent legal scholars, policy experts, human
rights leaders, technologists and former government officials" in
support of the cause will be released, according to a statement from
the campaign. A presidential pardon would mean that Snowden could come
home from Moscow, where he's lived for the past three years, without
the fear of being prosecuted. He currently faces federal charges of
violating the Espionage Act and stealing government property
