Stop FBI Repression! National Days of Action October 4 & 5

September 30, 2010 by Committee to Stop FBI Repression

Actions to Stop FBI Repression Take Place Across the Country! Further actions
planned for coming week on October 4 and 5
Thousands have come together in response to the FBI raids on seven homes and an
anti-war office on Friday, September 24, 2010. Across the country organizations and
individuals are standing together to protest the United States government’s attempt
to silence and criminalize anti-war and international solidarity activists.
Jess Sundin said, “These raids and subpoenas are an attack on anti-war and other
progressive movements. It is an attack on our freedom to speak, our freedom to
assemble with like-minded people, and our freedom to tell the government that their
actions and policies are wrong. It is an attempt to clear the way for more wars and
occupations of other countries by the U.S. military.”
Protests against the intimidation and harassment have taken place or are planned for
39 cities across the country. From Minneapolis and Chicago ,to Los Angeles, Atlanta,
Kalamazoo MI and Dallas Texas, The response has been tremendous an continues to
grow.
We are calling for further actions to take place in the coming week as the first
Grand Jury Subpoenas call for activists to appear on October 5.

expedition and attack on progressive movements.”
