**Statement of Solidarity with Activists Raided and Subpoenaed on 9/24/10**

The raids and grand jury subpoenas against antiwar and international
solidarity activists on the morning of Friday, September 24, 2010 are not
just an attack on particular activists, but on our movements for social
justice as a whole. With a united voice, we condemn this repression; we
demand the federal government cease its investigation and withdraw the
subpoenas immediately; and we vow to continue our work for true justice.

We reject the allegation that the government's investigation into our
movements is based on "material support for terrorism" in any form. This
allegation is particularly ludicrous considering the terror tactics the U.S.
government engages in on a daily basis, both globally and domestically.
Aimed against valued members of our community, the raids against activists
on Friday morning were particularly offensive to us. However, we recognize
that they are unexceptional instances of repression when compared to the
daily crimes against humanity carried out by U.S. imperialism.

We refuse to let the accusations of a notoriously untruthful, repressive
government divide us in any way. Because an attack on one of us is an
attack on all of us, we resolve to set any ideological or other political
differences aside and respond in solidarity with one another. Our struggle
will continue.
