The FBI Raids and Grand Jury Subpoenas: Know Your Rights and Defend 
Our Communities
Monday, November 15, 2010

On September 24th, 2010, the FBI raided anti-war and solidarity 
activists in Chicago and Minneapolis. During the raids, the FBI took 
computers, cell phones, documents and personal family items. In 
total, 14 activists in Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan were 
subpoenaed to appear before a Grand Jury. This type of investigation 
is a tool to repress our movements for social justice and divide our 
communities.

The 14 activists have all refused to testify in this Grand Jury investigation.

Join us to get the facts on Grand Juries, know your legal rights with 
the FBI, understand why this is happening now, and learn how our 
communities can respond!
