Attacks against activists - Bay Area Demo

Prepare to Take Action:  THE DAY AFTER INDICTMENTS

If criminal charges are brought...

WE TAKE TO THE STREETS THE DAY AFTER INDICTMENTS!


On Friday May 6th, US Attorney Fitzgerald froze the bank accounts of
Chicago community organizer Hatem Abudayyeh and his family. Because
of this escalation by the FBI, we must prepare for the worst: that
criminal indictments may soon be brought against any or all of the 23
Midwest activists who have refused to submit to a repressive Federal
Grand Jury.


CALLING FOR BAY AREA PROTEST @ OAKLAND FEDERAL BUILDING
1301 Clay Street, downtown near 12th Street BART

4-6PM ON THE DAY AFTER INDICTMENTS

(If indictments on Friday, protest will be Monday)

Bring signs and noise makers!

Look out for an alert by email or text message

U.S. Attorney escalates attacks on civil liberties of anti-war,
Palestinian human rights activists

On Friday, May 6, the U.S. government froze the bank accounts of
Hatem Abudayyeh and his wife, Naima.

This unwarranted attack on a leading member of the Palestinian
community in Chicago is the latest escalation of the repression of
anti-war and Palestinian community organizers by the FBI, U.S.
Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
Hatem Abudayyeh is one of 23 activists from Minnesota, Michigan, and
Illinois subpoenaed to a federal grand jury in Chicago, and his home
was raided by the FBI in September of last year. Neither Hatem
Abudayyeh nor Naima Abudayyeh have been charged with any crime.
