Committee To Stop FBI Repression: www.stopfbi.net Email: [e-mail]

Background:
Many members of groups belonging to the Minnesota Coalition for a People's Bailout were targeted by the FBI.

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.

3. Stop repeating of McCarthyesque and COINTELPRO type abuses

And please add an even broader request to call and ask all elected congresspersons to convene new Church Committee type hearings so that history does not repeat with new COINTELPRO type abuses. The situation needs to be scrutinized at the highest levels before it gets even worse.

There will be a demonstration outside the Minneapolis FBI (corner of Marquette and Washington Ave.) at 4:30 pm. on Tuesday, October 5th.
