SDS Tuscaloosa Against FBI Raids!

On September 24, seven homes and the office of an antiwar group were raided by FBI agents. 14 antiwar and Columbia and Palestine solidarity activists were served with subpoenas to appear before a grand jury. Since then, there have been protests all over the country, in over 30 cities, and groups from all across the political spectrum have issued statements condemning these raids and supporting the right to free speech of these activists.

On October 5th, the day that those subpoenaed were scheduled to appear before a grand jury, SDS Tuscaloosa held a demo in front of the Federal Building to show solidarity and support for those being repressed by this desperate attempt to quiet dissent. For an article on our demo click here

Those summoned to appear have decided to invoke their 5th Amendment rights and refuse to speak before the grand jury. However, they will remain vocal outside of the courtroom, releasing statements and videos.
