The FBI raided on five homes and an anti-war office on Friday, September 24, 2010. The FBI also handed subpoenas to testify before a federal grand jury to nine activists in Minnesota.
The activists in the Twin Cities who have been targeted include 8 women and one man ranging in age from 29 to 71. Four are parents of children ranging in age from 18 months to 6 years of age.
One is a great grandmother. Six are union members, five of them members of AFSCME Council 5, which passed a resolution in support of them. All have been involved in building the anti-war, international solidarity and peace and justice movements in the Twin Cities for more than a decade each.
Please thank Rep Clark and Sen Berglin for offering these resolutions! (Rep Clark 651-296- 0294; Sen Berglin 651-296-4261)
