<P><B><I><BR>**Call off the Grand Jury!</I></B><B></B></P>
<P><B>Today, </B>the third group of activists is scheduled to appear at
the Grand Jury. All of the activists are refusing to testify,
so the Assistant U.S. Attorney Brand Fox has withdrawn the subpoenas
thus far. The Grand Jury continues however, and arrests, or
subpoenas offering immunity—forcing activists to talk under the threat
of imprisonment–are possibilities. We need your
support. Please circulate this national call widely.</P>
<P><B>The Strategy Center is participating in the national Campaign to
Stop FBI Repression against anti-war and international solidarity
activists. This is a time for action!</B></P>
<P>We are working to protect the human rights of all people and the
inherent right of mass social movements to protest the oppressive and
repressive practices of the U.S. government.</P>
<P>We oppose the criminalization of our communities and the
militarization of our schools. We seek the removal of all US military
bases from foreign and domestic lands and an end to wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan.</P>
<P>The Office of Homeland Security and its affiliates such as the FBI
and ICE are aggressively attacking basic human rights, long fought for
civil rights, and civil liberties long exercised in the United States.
In the name of the War on Terrorism, this repressive apparatus is making
an historic shift in the rule of law, now the innocent are called
“guilty” and fear is made the backbone of popular mass sentiment.</P>
<P>We join with all international anti-war and international solidarity
activists and organizers to denounce the raids of the US
government on US-based Palestinian solidarity activists, anti-war
activists, and other international solidarity workers that took
place in several U.S. cities on Friday, September 24th, 2010. We
denounce the daily raids on immigrants and the repression of Arabs and
Muslims who stand up for their families and communities.</P>

<P><B>The Story: Grand Jury, FBI, </B></P>
<P>On September 24, the FBI raided two Chicago and five Minneapolis
homes of well-known anti-war and international solidarity
activists. Also raided were the offices of the
Minneapolis-Saint Paul based Anti-War Committee. Subpoenas to
answer questions at a Grand Jury in Chicago were delivered to other
activists at their homes and work places. In the past week,
the FBI continues to attempt to harass other anti-war activists at their
homes and work.</P>
<P>When dozens of FBI agents stormed in, they took computer hard drives,
cell phones, documents, newspapers and children’s
artwork. They took 28 boxes out of one Chicago home,
including a framed photo of the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.
shaking hands with Malcolm X. The FBI subpoenaed 14 activists
in Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan to testify at the Grand
Jury. According to the FBI, the goal of the raids was to show
material support for terrorism charges. It is outrageous!</P>
<P>All the activists publicly announced they are refusing to testify and
want the Grand Jury called off. The Assistant U.S. Attorney
Brandon Fox withdrew the subpoenas at this point, but it is not
over. The government may force people to testify under threat
of imprisonment or make arrests. The U.S. government is
trying to put people in jail for anti-war and international solidarity
activism. These people have done nothing
wrong. They have given money to no one. Their freedom is at
stake.</P>
<P>Those targeted are well-known leaders in the anti-war movement and
many helped to organize the huge protest against the Republican National
Convention in St. Paul, MN in September 2008. This is the
suppression of our democratic rights. It threatens our
families, our children and our communities. This is a U.S.
government attempt to silence those who support resistance to oppression
in the Middle East and Latin America, by putting people in jail.</P>
<P>The targeted activists are refusing to be pulled into conversations
with the FBI about their political views or their organizing against war
and occupation. The activists are involved with many groups,
including the Palestine Solidarity Group, Students for a Democratic
Society, Twin-Cities Anti-War Committee, Colombia Action Network, the
Freedom Road Socialist Organization and Fight Back! newspaper.</P>
