On September 24, the FBI raided seven Chicago and Minneapolis homes of
\nwell-known anti-war and international solidarity activists. Their ranks included
\na number of trade unionists. Also raided was the office of the Minneapolis \u2013
\nSt. Paul based Anti-War Committee.<\/p>\n

The FBI took computer hard drives, cell phones, documents, newspapers and
\nchildren\u2019s artwork. They took 28 boxes out of one Chicago home, including a
\nframed photo of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., shaking hands with Malcolm
\nX. The FBI subpoenaed 14 activists in Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan to
\ntestify at a grand jury. According to the FBI, the goal of the raids was to show
\nmaterial support for terrorism charges. It is outrageous! The U.S. government is
\ntrying to put people in jail for anti-war and international solidarity activism.
\nThese people have done nothing wrong. They have given money to no one. Their
\nfreedom is at stake.<\/p>\n

We all need to join together as the government repression continues and
\nexpands.\u00a0 This is an attack on our movement.\u00a0 Go to\u00a0ww.stopfbi.net \u00a0for
\nlatest information.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0These are antiwar and social justice activists and
\npeople who have been involved in international solidarity efforts, around
\nColombia and Palestine.<\/p>\n
