Dear Friends of the Freedom Archives
Some of you may have received our recent letter
and many of you have already responded many thanks! If not,
You are the essential element. As a remarkably
successful year draws to a close, we are reaching
out to enlist your support. The Freedom Archives
is not funded by any government agencies and
receives support funding from only a few
progressive family foundations. We rely on
youour individual contributorsto keep our work
going strong. Your contributions are the
essential element in ensuring our success and
bringing progressive history and its lessons into the future.
The Freedom Archives continues to teach high
school and college age youth media and
documentation skills while learning about our
recent history. The youth program is the most
inspiring aspect of our work! We work on a daily
basis with communities around the country. Our
collections are utilized for a wide range of projects.
Our latest video, Legacy of Torture, testifies to
the powerful role that radical media can play in
building public awareness and a movement for
justice. The film places the current case of the
San Francisco 8 in the historical context of
COINTELPRO, torture, and the war against the
Black Liberation movement. Legacy of Torture has
become a catalyst for solidarity. More than 1500
copies of the film have been distributed,
sparking discussion in schools and communities.
Your support provided the resources to release
the film with Spanish subtitles for broadcast in
Venezuela, for showings in Africa and at national
and international film festivals.

Were also excited to announce the release of our
Paul Robeson audio CD, exploring his political
thought through spoken word excerpts. With an ear
to younger generations, Robesons passion for
justice and internationalism create an
ever-relevant learning tool and inspiring
listening experience. Again, your support helped
to make this important work possible. We are
having a CD Release Party on Wednesday, February 27 at La Peña in Berkeley.
Your contributions will also support one of our
newest Freedom Archives projects COINTELPRO 101
a firsthand video primer on government
repression against progressive movements. Early
phases of this project include interviews with
survivors of government repression then and now.
The Freedom Archives has become a recognized
voice in the movement for change. But you are the
essential element. Please take the time today to
support our efforts. Thank you in advance for
your generous and much-needed contributions.
