Viewers will also hear from a worker at the Milwaukee Art Museum where there is an on-going campaign to unionize.There will be a question and answer session at the end. Viewers are encouraged to leave their questions in the comments over the course of the livestream. Select questions will be read by the MC following the final speaker and answered by those who spoke.

Committee to Stop FBI Repression

In the early morning of September 24, 2010, 70 FBI agents raided the homes antiwar and peace activists throughout the Midwest. They later found out that they were being investigated for material support of terrorism when all they did was speak out against U.S. war machine. 10 years later, these organizers have not been indicted, have not been jailed, and are still organizing! Join us as we celebrate 10 years of fighting against political repression, learn about our victories, and how we continue to organize despite the U.S. state political repression. Featuring:
– Hatem Abudayyeh
– Joe Isobaker
– Mick Kelly
– Tracy Molm
– Carlos Montes
– Jess Sundin
– and more coming!
