 94606FREE ADMISSION, Donations Accepted On September 24th, 2010, the FBI 
 raided the homes and offices of anti-war and international solidarity 
 activists in Chicago and Minneapolis. During the raids, the FBI took 
 computers, cell phones, documents and personal family items. In total, 14 
 activists in Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan were subpoenaed to appear 
 before a Grand Jury on that date.  Since then, 9 other activists have been 
 subpoenaed, 6 of them Palestinian activists. This type of investigation is 
 a tool to repress our movements for social justice and divide our 
 communities. \n\n \nThe 23 activists have all refused to testify in this
