Call for International Solidarity

Dear FellowInternational Solidarity Activist,

We are calling onour international allies to take action in support of long-time peace and humanrights activists who have come under attack for their work against U.S.occupation and military intervention abroad.

On September24^th,2010, the FBI subjected about a dozen anti-war activists and activists workingin solidarity with struggles in Palestine and Colombia to searches and raids oftheir homes in Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan. Activists in California, Wisconsin and NorthCarolina were also harassed.

The activists inIllinois, Minnesota and Michigan were served with Grand Jury subpoenas. They are refusing to testify, a brave choicewhich could land them in jail. The illegitimateGrand Jury process, which began on October 5, must be stopped. The raids andGrand Jury process constitute an FBI abuse of power clearly designed to createa climate of fear among those who dare to fight for peace and justice. We must bevigilant in our defense of these activists and their right to continue theirimportant international solidarity work without harassment.
