 of government persecution.\n\nVEGAN REFRESHMENTS, relevant books/ zines, 
 and t-shirts will be available, also being sold to raise benefit 
 money.\n\n\nOppose the criminalization of dissent!\n\nThe term “Green 
 Scare” refers to the federal government’s expanding prosecution efforts 
 against animal liberation and ecological activists, which is strikingly 
 similar to the "Red Scare" of the 1950s. Recent sweeping legislation such 
 as the Patriot Act and Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act redefine 
 “terrorism” so broadly that anyone who advocates for social change can 
 be criminalized for thinking, speaking or acting in a manner that threatens 
 corporate profits and the rule of law. Activists are facing potential 
 multiple life sentences for crimes against property, crimes that have 
 harmed no-one. Others (the SHAC 7) have been sentenced to years in prison 
 for simply running a website and speaking in support of direct action. Look 
 out, everyone is a potential terrorist.\n\n\nThis event is part of the 
 International Days of Solidarity with Green Scare Indictees, Detainees, and 
 Political Prisoners. \nFor more information:\n\ngreenscare.org -
