“Dissent is Not a Crime: Two Subpoenaed Activists Speak Out” – Madison

5/14 Sat 1 – 3 pm “Dissent is Not a Crime:  Two Subpoenaed Activists Speak Out” – Madison. At St. John’s Lutheran Church, 322 East Washington Ave, just off the Capitol Square. On September 24, the FBI raided the homes and offices of peace activists in Minneapolis and Chicago. They seized computers, phones, documents and other personal items. The FBI has also been contacting other activists in an ongoing investigation of alleged "material
support of foreign terrorist organizations."  At this point 23 citizens have been issued subpoenas to testify before a Grand Jury in Chicago.  Refusal to testify can result in a grant of immunity followed by jail for contempt if the refusal continues.  The federal prosecutor can also issue criminal indictments leading to trial.  

All welcome to hear the stories of two dynamic and courageous women from neighboring state, Meredith Aby and Sarah Smith, peace and social justice activists who have been involved in this assault on our civil liberties.
