URGENT ALERT: please repost widely!

Protest the 9/24 FBI raids -- and the larger assault on our right to dissent.

4:30 PM, Monday, 9/27/10
FBI headquarters in Chicago, 2111 W. Roosevelt (NOT Fed Plaza)

The newly formed Committee Against Political Repression is calling an emergency rally at 4:30pm Monday, Sept. 27 at FBI headquarters in Chicago, 2111 W. Roosevelt (NOT at Federal Plaza as some earlier announcements indicated). This is one of more than 30 protests being staged across the nation in the wake of last Friday's FBI raids -- and the larger federal assault -- on anti-war activists, solidarity workers and people committed to peace with justice in the U.S. and abroad.

We will assemble to send a strong message that these raids will not keep us silent, that we stand in solidarity with those targeted by this outrageous breach of basic rights, and that we are committed to building the movement to resist oppression in all its forms at home and abroad. Monday's action is part of a wave of similar rallies being convened in more than 30 U.S. cities in the coming days. An injury to one is an injury to all, and solidarity to protect our most basic rights to dissent is more important than ever.

Checks to support the legal defense for the Chicago victims of the raids can be made out to Wellington Avenue United Church of Christ (WAUCC) with Committee Against Political Repression identified in the memo line (CAPR). Checks can be mailed to Wellington Avenue United Church of Christ, 615 W. Wellington Ave., Chicago, IL 60657.
