At the Resource Center of the Americas
Presented in English
Description:
At this Coffee Hour we’ll hear testimony on FBI raids of local anti-war activists in the broader context of FBI oppression and the chilling impact of the material support law.
MEREDITH ABY is a member of the Colombia Action Network and the Anti-War Committee. Her home was raided on 9/24 and she was subpoenaed to the Chicago grand jury. Meredith has led several Colombia Action Network delegations to Colombia, and can talk about how this case, and the material support law, hinder the work of international solidarity activists and undercut our freedoms to oppose US policy in Colombia and elsewhere.
CHERRENE HORAZUK is a former executive director of CISPES and a leader in the MN Committee to Stop FBI Repression. She will talk about the history of FBI repression of Latin America solidarity movements and the significance of recent attacks on activists here in MN and elsewhere.
BRUCE NESTOR is a member of the National Lawyers Guild, and is working to provide legal support to the activists raided and subpoenaed to the grand jury in Chicago. Bruce will speak about the material support law and address the significance of this case, and the legal rights of international solidarity activists.
