DESCRIPTION:Join us for a coalition rally at the SF Federal Building to protest the 
 FBI’s repression of activists. We will have speakers from different 
 organizations doing anti-oppression work, and they will share stories of 
 government repression and how we can come together to support one 
 another’s work.\n\nSpeakers will include:\n- Susan Stryker, renowned 
 professor, author, and theorist whose work focuses on gender\n- Jason 
 Woody, Development Director at Rich City Rides,\n- Andrés Soto, Richmond 
 community organizer,\n- Paul Paz y Miño, Associate Director at Amazon 
 Watch\n- Doggtown Dro, Activated Anguished Artist, Anti-Colonial Acab 
 Abolitionist and Agitator, and\n- Wayne Hsiung, an animal rights activist 
 with Direct Action Everywhere who is facing felony charges for 
 investigations and rescues.\n\nThe Federal Bureau of Investigation has a 
 long history of abusing its powers to surveil, infiltrate, and thwart 
 progressive activist groups. The bureau has targeted civil rights and Black 
 power groups, women’s rights groups, anti-war activists, environmental 
 activists, animal rights activists and many others challenging an 
 oppressive status quo.\n\nFrom 1956 to 1971, as part of the FBI’s 
 Counterintelligence Program, or COINTELPRO, federal agents partnered with 
 state officials and police to eavesdrop on phone calls, create fake 
 activist publications, infiltrate organizations, and fabricate evidence 
 aimed at turning activists against each other.\n\nToday, the FBI continues 
 to monitor activist groups, including some of us hosting this protest, as 
 we have seen from Freedom of Information Act requests and other sources. 
 Instead of letting this repression hold us down, we must come together, 
 expose the FBI’s abuse of power, and support one another as we work to 
 overcome similar obstacles to a more just world for 
 all.\n\n----------\n\nWHERE: Phillip Burton Federal Building (450 Golden
