(*You - could be anyone of good conscience)

Information and Organizing meeting for activists and civil libertarians
to discuss recent (ongoing) government attempts to criminalize dissent
and what we can do to counter such attacks on our civil rights.

From the September FBI raids of peace and solidarity activist homes in
Minneapolis & Chicago; the campaign to discredit Julian Assange and
WikiLeaks; Maryland State Police spying o...n local activists and more,
our government is intent on quashing dissent (especially when it has to
do with foreign policy) using a variety of tools and tactics. And we can
fight back.

Pass a local Civil Right Restoration Act to safeguard our civil rights
and civil liberties in DC, MD and VA

Develop a rapid response network to demonstrate our solidarity with
allies under attack

More ideas are welcome!
