DESCRIPTION:************* EMERGENCY GRAND JURY TEACH-IN  Tuesday May 31st @7pm  3030-B 
 16th Street near Mission  At least seven local activists have been 
 subpoenaed in the  last week to appear before a federal grand jury convened 
 in  SF. In recent decades, the federal government has  increasingly used 
 the grand jury to intimidate and harass  activists pushing for social 
 justice.  Do you know your rights? Learn what you can do to protect  
 yourself and your community, and why you should know how  to resist this 
 unjust process.  Speakers:  Mark Vermeulen –The National Lawyers Guild  
 Claude Marks –Freedom Archives  Anita Carswell - Former Grand Jury 
 Resister  & Local activists with grand jury experience  ACTIVISTS ARE 
 ORGANIZING RESISTANCE  COME SHOW YOUR SOLIDARITY!  Check indybay.org for 
 upcoming demonstrations.  Modern-Day Witch Hunts Must End!  As government 
 repression in general increases, so does the  use of the federal grand jury 
 to intimidate, incarcerate  and render impotent  activists across social 
 movements. In recent years,  pressure on the animal rights, environmental 
 justice,  anti-war and anarchist movements has increased  exponentially. At 
 a recent hearing before the Senate  Committee on Environment and Public 
 Works, John E. Lewis,  Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterterrorism 
 Division  of the FBI, testified that,  “Investigating and preventing 
 animal rights extremism and  eco-terrorism is one of the FBI’s highest 
 domestic  terrorism priorities.”  Links for more information about grand
