The LA Committee Against FBI Repression will meet tonight Wednesday, January 5, at 7 pm at 5274 West Pico Blvd. LA 90019. Please join us to plan a local action to stop FBI attacks.
Carlos Montes Take action Jan. 25 Opposing war and occupation is not a crime By Staff Fight Back News Service is circulating the following call from the Committee to Stop FBI Repression. Join the National Day of Action on Tuesday, January 25, 2011 In December 2010, under the direction of U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, the FBI delivered 9 new subpoenas in Chicago to anti-war and Palestine solidarity activists - bringing the total number of subpoenaed activists to 23. Patrick Fitzgerald’s office is ordering the 9 to appear at a Grand Jury in Chicago on January 25. In response, we are calling for protests across the country and around the world to show our solidarity. Hundreds of organizations and thousands of people will be protesting at Federal Buildings, FBI offices, and other appropriate places, showing solidarity with the 9 newly subpoenaed activists and with all the activists whose homes were raided by the FBI. Fitzgerald’s expanding web of repression already includes the 14 subpoenaed when the FBI stormed into homes on September 24th, carting away phones, computers, notebooks, diaries and children’s artwork. In October, all fourteen activists from Chicago, Minneapolis, and Michigan decided to not participate in the secret proceedings of Fitzgerald’s Grand Jury. Each signed a letter invoking their Fifth Amendment rights. However, three women from Minneapolis - Tracy Molm, Anh Pham and Sarah Martin - are facing re-activated subpoenas. They are standing strong and we are asking you to stand with them – and with the newly subpoenaed nine activists – by protesting Patrick Fitzgerald and his use of the Grand Jury and FBI to repress anti-war and international solidarity activists. Defend free speech! Defend the right to organize! Opposing war and occupation is not a crime! **Tell Patrick Fitzgerald to call off the Grand Jury! **Stop FBI raids and repression! Please organize a local protest or picket in your city or on your campus and e-mail us at stop...@gmail.com to let us know what you have planned.
