> Over the past four months, the FBI has subpoenaed 23 antiwar activists to testify before a grand jury. The FBI raided activists' homes and confiscated their computers, documents and even family photographs.
> 
> Many of the activists are involved in Palestine solidarity work. To our knowledge, none have been charged with any crime and all are refusing to cooperate in what they view as a McCarthyite crackdown on individuals who have devoted themselves to social justice. 
> 
> See www.stopfbi.net to learn more about your own rights and resources, how to follow the cases and be involved, and profiles of the targeted individuals (see link, above-right).
> 
> Nine of the 23 activists have been subpoenaed to appear at a grand jury in Chicago next Tuesday, January 25th. On that day, activists will protest at federal buildings, FBI offices and other locations as part of a National Day of Action to Protest FBI and Grand Jury Repression.

> Statement by US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation on Subpoenas of Antiwar Activists
> The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation joins people of conscience around the country and world in decrying the FBI's McCarthyite crackdown on antiwar activists. We reject the criminalization of working for peace and criticizing U.S. policies--a constitutional right.
> 
> We are proud to be part of the growing number of U.S. citizens working to stop the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine. The FBI's actions only strengthen our resolve to change those U.S. policies that deny justice in Palestine and beyond.
> Take Action:
> 
> 1. Find or organize a community action.
> 2. Write a statement of solidarity to stopfbi at gmail.com.
> 3. Learn more about the targeted individuals.
