Raids and Harassment</SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px" class=MsoNormal> </P><BIG>We denounce the Federal
Bureau of Investigation harassment of anti-war and solidarity activists.
The FBI raided seven houses and an office in Chicago and Minneapolis on
Friday, September 24, 2010. The FBI handed subpoenas to testify before a
federal grand jury to eleven activists in Illinois, Minnesota, and Michigan.
The FBI also attempted to intimidate activists in California and North
Carolina.</BIG><BIG><BR><BR>This suppression of civil rights is aimed at those
who dedicate their time and energy to supporting the struggles of the
Palestinian and Colombian peoples against U.S. funded occupation and
war. The FBI has indicated that the grand jury is investigating
the activists for possible material support of terrorism charges. <BR><BR>The
activists involved have done nothing wrong and are refusing to be pulled into
conversations with the FBI about their political views or organizing against
war and occupation. The activists are involved with many groups,
including: the Twin Cities Anti-War Committee, the Palestine Solidarity
Group, the Colombia Action Network, Students for a Democratic Society, and
Freedom Road Socialist Organization. These activists came together with many
others to organize the 2008 anti-war marches on the Republican National
Convention in St. Paul. <BR><BR>We ask people of conscience to join us
in fighting this political repression, as we continue working to build the
movements against US war and occupation.<BR><BR>Take Action:<BR><BR>Call the
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder at 202-353-1555 or write an email to:
<A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated title=mailto:AskDOJ@usdoj.gov href="mailto:AskDOJ@usdoj.gov">AskDOJ@usdoj.gov</A>.<BR><BR>Demand:<BR><BR>**Stop
the repression against anti-war and international solidarity
activists.<BR><BR>**Immediately return all confiscated materials: computers,
cell phones, papers, documents, etc. <BR><BR>**End the grand jury proceedings
against anti-war activists.<BR><BR><BR>Plan and Support national days of
protest at FBI offices or Federal Buildings, September 27 and 28th. <BR><BR>A
demonstration has been called at the Minneapolis FBI Office Monday, 4:30,
