Since 9/11 the Muslim community has experienced increasing levels of discriminatory invasive and abusive conduct by federal agents. On September 24th 2010, the FBI raided two homes in Chicago, and five homes in Minneapolis, along with the Anti-War Committee office. Armed and threatening, the FBI turned people’s homes upside down and took their computers, cell phones, documents, newspapers, framed photos and children’s art work.
Join us to learn the history, the tactics and how to address these abuses, protect our communities, and defend our civil rights and civil liberties.
