Post 9-11 organizing meeting
7 p.m.
418 Valencia St., San Francisco (near 16th St. BART)

The U.S. government has declared war on immigrants and
activists. Thousands have been harassed, questioned,
intimidated, and detained, some without charges or
access to counsel, moved from secret jail to secret
jail. We can be jailed or deported for supporting an
ever growing list of groups deemed "terrorist"; the
FBI and CIA have been given new broad powers to spy on
activists; INS is enlisting local police in a massive
effort to clamp down on immigrants; and these are just
a few of the ways our rights are being eroded more
than ever before. Come to a meeting to discuss what we
can do to resist this wave of repression and inform
our communities.
