Know Your Rights Training Sessions; When an Agent Knocks; Entrapment; Grand Jury;Targeting of the Palestinian Movement. National Strategy and Tactics
About:
Last September, the FBI raided homes of anti-war and international solidarity activists in Chicago and Minneapolis.Doors were kicked in during the early morning raids and personal belongings including children’s' artwork, posters of Martin Luther King, Jr, were taken, as well as cell phones, computers and boxes of paper records. Fourteen activists from Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan were subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury; however all fourteen announced that they would not participate, and those subpoenas were subsequently cancelled.
In December, the FBI re-activated the subpoenas for three of these activists, and also delivered nine new subpoenas in Chicago to anti-war and Palestine solidarity activists, ordering them to appear before a Grand Jury.
Thus far they have refused to testify.
The FBI claims that evidence is being collected regarding the possible 'material support' of terrorism. The 'material support' statute is so broadly written that it can, and does, criminalize international peace-building activities whose only connection to terrorism is to fight against it.
The Justice Department's own Inspector General has released a report documenting political surveillance by the FBI. We protest this continuing pattern, whose purpose is to intimidate and suppress dissent rather than in any way protecting U.S. citizens.
FBI raids, and subpoenas to the Grand Jury, threaten the First Amendment rights of all of us.
Antiwar activism & international solidarity are NOT crimes!
Dissent is not a crime!

Press Conference: Juvenile Justice Agenda 2/4
Press conference announcing Juvenile Justice Agenda savings
. FRIDAY, February 4, 2010, 10:30 AM
. 250 Broadway, 19th Floor Conference Room
Called by: Senator Montgomery, Senate Minority Leader John Sampson, and their Democratic Conference colleagues.
. FRIDAY, February 4, 2010, 10:30 AM
. 250 Broadway, 19th Floor Conference Room
Called by: Senator Montgomery, Senate Minority Leader John Sampson, and their Democratic Conference colleagues.
Governor Andrew Cuomo's budget will announce a new direction for positive changes in New York State's Juvenile Justice system, changes proposed in the previous session by NYS Senator Velmanette Montgomery and her fellow children's advocates. The legislation, passed by the Senate but stalled in the Assembly last year, has been reintroduced by Senator Montgomery and the Senate Democratic conference. Now the common sense and social justice of the cause has found the ear of our new Governor.
But this is not a slam dunk by any means, despite the Governor's enthusiasm! Senator Montgomery, Senate Minority Leader Sampson and the Democratic Conference will face strong opposition from upstate interests. It will be a
hard fight, and we need your support.
Please join Senator Montgomery, Senate Minority Leader Sampson and the Democratic Conference, and your fellow advocates at this press conference (location to be finalized.) Bring your constituencies, your voices, your enthusiasm and commitment. The progress on this issue is the result of your efforts: we need you there!
If you would like to submit comments or quotes for press announcements, or simply have any questions, please contact Sandy Stewart at 518-455-3457 (email: sstewart@nysenate.gov).
