Listen "Resisting an FBI Investigation with Jess & Tracy (Anti-War 23)"
Episode Synopsis
"The #1 reason we got free was because no one would talk." In this episode, Jess and Tracy discuss their successful fight against a 2010 FBI investigation connected to their organizing with the MN Anti-War Committee against the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, MN. From resisting grand jury subpoenas to organizing a national speaking tour, they get into how and why they chose not to comply with the investigation. They reflect on this experience of repression and lessons for movements today. The episode closes with part one of Outlaw's recap of the last year of legal repression faced by Palestine solidarity activists. Cover image by Mon M.
