</i><b>Statement of Solidarity with Activists Raided and Subpoenaed on
9/24/10<br><br>
</b>The raids and grand jury subpoeanas against antiwar and international
solidarity activists on the morning of Friday, September 24, 2010 are not
just an attack on particular activists, but on our movements for social
justice as a whole. With a united voice, we condemn this
repression; we demand the federal government cease its investigation and
withdraw the subpoenas immediately; and we vow to continue our work for
true justice.<br><br>
We reject the allegation that the government's investigation into our
movements is based on "material support for terrorism" in any
form. This allegation is particularly ludicrous considering the
terror tactics the U.S. government engages in on a daily basis, both
globally and domestically. Aimed against valued members of our community,
the raids against activists on Friday morning were particularly offensive
to us. However, we recognize that they are unexceptional instances of
repression when compared to the daily crimes against humanity carried out
by U.S. imperialism.<br><br>
We refuse to let the accusations of a notoriously untruthful, repressive
government divide us in any way. Because an attack on one of us is
an attack on all of us, we resolve to set any ideological or other
political differences aside and respond in solidarity with one
another. Our struggle will continue.<br><br>
