[Ppnews] Jan 25: Protest FBI and Grand Jury Repression!

[Political Prisoner News]

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 
<mailto:stopfbi at gmail.com>stopfbi at gmail.com to 
let us know what you have planned.

In Struggle,
--Tom Burke
