> Dear CCR Supporter:
> Thousands of people gathered in nearly 40 cities across the country  
> this week in response to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's  
> (FBI) raids on peaceful anti-war and international solidarity  
> activists in Chicago and Minnesota. The growing threat to the right  
> to dissent has been demonstrated in the U.S. government's efforts  
> to silence speech, and criminalize and target peaceful movements.  
> These efforts are becoming more aggressive, emboldened further by  
> the Supreme Court's increasingly conservative decisions, for  
> instance regarding material support in the form of humanitarian aid  
> to so-called terrorist organizations. Fortunately, opposition to  
> this blatant repression of our basic civil rights is mounting daily.
>
> As you know, the Center has worked to protect the Constitutional  
> right to dissent for social movements in the United States. Join us  
> and take a stand against the silencing of dissent by participating  
> in a national call-in day on Monday, October 4, 2010, and organize  
> an event in your communities on Tuesday, October 5, 2010 to make  
> your voice heard.

> owners; and
>
> ·         End the harassment of anti-war and international  
> solidarity activists.
