TICKETS ON SALE NOW AT TREASURE CITY

Over two months after the conclusion of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, the FBI continues to harass and intimidate activists who chose to voice their opinions about the status quo.

In the last month, six activists in Houston and Austin have received subpoenas to appear before a Federal Grand Jury in Minneapolis that has been scheduled for the week of November 17. Several other activists have had their homes, or those of parents and friends, visited by the FBI.

The subpoenas are only the latest step that the government has taken in its attempts to intimidate and silence activists protesting the RNC. Police actions in the Twin Cities have included house raids, pulling over and detaining activists at gunpoint, mass arrests, arbitrary searches, and vehicle impoundments.

Come show your support for the subpoenaed texas activists as they resist the governments repression and the criminalization of dissent.
