DESCRIPTION:Thousands of innocent individuals are being contacted by the FBI and local 
 police officers assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force. These innocent 
 Americans have done nothing wrong. In many cases, the FBI does not have 
 reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. Instead, people are being 
 harassed because of their affiliations and their identities.\n\n\nA 
 recently released secret contract between the SFPD and the FBI revealed 
 that SF Police assigned to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force are put 
 under the control & rules of the FBI. This allows SF Police to circumvent 
 local intelligence-gathering policies, Police Orders and California Privacy 
 Laws that prevent spying on people without any evidence of a 
 crime.\n\n\nThe FBI's more permissive guidelines have raised grave civil & 
 human rights concerns & complaints across the country because they could be 
 based on, or lead to illegal & unconstitutional profiling & 
 surveillance.\n\nCommunity testimony at a recent SF Human Rights Commission 
 hearing helped document that Arab, Muslim & South Asian community members 
 are indeed facing consistent interrogation, surveillance, harassment, & 
 infiltration by federal law enforcement personnel (including FBI, CBP, and 
 ICE) at homes, places of worship, workplaces & while traveling, due to the 
 guidelines.\n\n\nWhen federal policies violate our rights, violate our 
 state & local laws & deny supervision over our own police - IT IS UP TO 
 US!\n\nWe Must Work With Local Government Officials to Curb the Overbroad 
 Policies that Lead to Profiling & Harassment. We Must Work to STOP the 
 Practices that Violate the Values of Our Sanctuary City, Equal 
 Rights/Treatment & the Safety of Our Community.\n\n\nHOW TO HELP:\n\n1) 
 Come to the hearing to show your support for Civil and Human Rights!\n\n2) 
 Testify or Report Your Experience of being Profiled or Spied Upon because 
 of Race, Religion, Political Activity or National Origin.\n\nIf you have 
 experienced or witnessed the following, contact us:\n\n-intrusive 
 questioning or detainment while traveling\n-questioning by SFPD JTTF 
 Officers\n-visits or approaches from the FBI\n-discrimination by law 
 enforcement\n\n\nFor additional information, call 415-861-7444 or 
 415-848-7714 or email SafeSF@yahoo.com\n
