Defend free speech & the right to organize!  Protest FBI and Grand Jury Repression!      Join the National Day of Action today at 5.30pm in front of the Federal Building in Downtown Portland.  Protests are being called across the country in solidarity against activists who have been targeted by the FBI to repress anti-war and international solidarity activists.  In December 2010, under the direction of U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald the FBI delivered nine new subpoenas in Chicago to anti-war and Palestine solidarity activists.  Three women from Minneapolis have even faced re-activated subpoenas. They are all standing strong in refusing to appear.

At 7pm tonight in the First Unitarian Church in Downtown Portland there will be a COMMUNITY FORUM for people to stand up to Citizens United, when One year ago, the US Supreme Court ruled that unlimited amounts of money form corporate coffers could be directly used in elections with almost no disclosure of its sources.   In the 2010 elections, corporate funds poured into congressional races, enabling the Republicans to purchase a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Democracy is government of, by, and for the people.  Now the US Supreme Court has given us government of, by, and for corporations. What does this mean for democracy and what can we do about it?  Dan Meek, Public Interest Attorney, campaign finance reform advocate, and Barbara Dudley, former Executive Director of the National Lawyers Guild and head of the Oregon Working Families Party, will be speaking. Sponsored by Alliance for Democracy, Co-sponsored by the Economic Justice Action Group of the 1st Unitarian Church, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Independent Party of Oregon, Progressive Party of Oregon, Oregon Working Families Party.
