Eight months on from her detainment in Moscow, Brittney Griner is celebrating her 32nd birthday in a Russian jail instead of with her family
To mark the date, her wife Cherelle Griner and others close to the basketball player have launched the #WeAreBG campaign. In a video released on wearebg.org, Cherelle said, “I’ve felt every moment of the grueling seven months without her.” She thanked those who have supported the cause as well as specifically mentioning Joe Biden saying, “I want to thank President Biden for the Administration’s efforts to secure her release.
Griner’s friends and family have sought to renew the support and pressure to bring her home with the #WeAreBG campaign. Her USA teammate Breanna Stewart wrote on Twitter, “We are not a family without #BrittneyGriner. It’s time to BRING HER HOME. #WeAreBG. Today marks eight months of her Wrongful Detention. She needs her family now more than ever. BG - we have not forgotten you, and we will not rest until you’re home.
