Memphis Emergency Protest: Stop FBI Raids and Harassment

Memphis Emergency Protest: Stop FBI Raids and Harassment
- Wednesday, September 29
- noon-1pm
- 167 North Main St. (near the federal building)

From the facebook event page:
Concerned citizens of Memphis condemn the FBI raids on anti-war and solidarity activists on Friday, September 24th, and denounce them as part of this government's ongoing assault on civil liberties and its campaign of intimidation against activists speaking out for freedom and self-determination.

We urge Memphians concerned by this outrageous fishing expedition to offer their full support to the targeted activists, and to oppose the criminalization of dissent, by gathering outside the Memphis federal building at 12 noon, on Wednesday September 29th.

* Stop the repression against anti-war and international solidarity activists.

* Immediately return all confiscated materials: computers, birthday cards, cell phones, family photos, papers, documents, etc.

* End the grand jury proceedings against anti-war activists.

About

The Memphis Socialist Party, a local chapter of the Socialist Party-USA, was established in October 2008. The SP-USA is a multi-tendency revolutionary socialist organization committed to radical democracy, which rejects the current system where all workers are exploited in the name of profit; production is ever-increasing along with manufactured consumer demand despite finite resources; distribution of goods and services is irrationally unequal; and where our system of economic oppression reinforces racism, sexism, heterosexism, and all forms of bigotry, creating false divisions among the people.

Memphis suffers deeply from the effects of capitalism; the struggle against inequality has left scars in the fabric of our city. Please join the Memphis SP so we can work together to create a network and build a foundation for socialist analysis, education, agitation and action here in Memphis, Tennessee.

In solidarity with the leftist community in Memphis and Tennessee, we publish materials on this blog that may not strictly conform with the SP-USA platform and principles, but reflect the ideas of our comrades in the broader struggle against capitalism and imperialism.
