Please circulate this national call widely.

The 3rd National Call In Day to stop FBI repression and stand in solidarity
with anti-war activists targeted by the September 24 FBI raids and Grand
Jury subpoenas is this Tuesday, October 19.

This is the third group of activists 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Brand Fox has withdrawn the subpoenas thus far.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.

>>>Call President Obama at (202)-456-1111 and U.S. Attorney General Eric
Holder at (202)-353-1555<<<

Demand:

**End repression of anti-war and international solidarity activists!
**Return all materials seized in the raid!
**Call off the Grand Jury!

Stop FBI Repression: Call off the Grand Jury, No Charges

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
