May Day 2013 Our Roads Are For Revelry Not For FBI Tanks

http://www.filterfreeradio.com - Jacob Dean covers a May Day 2013 action in Portland: Concerned Portland Citizen Jesse Hadden leads an early May Day 2013 rally at Terry D. Schrunk Plaza in front of Portland City Hall. This "non-permitted" event drew a few dozen participants, sign makers, a couple different speakers, at least three federal homeland security suv's and personnel, two local network television news crews, a local radio station reporter, and a local newspaper reporter. This event was separate from the larger May Day march and rally in Portland later on...

The FBI rolled an Armored Personnel Carrier full of federal combat police down the streets of SE Portland on Friday, to serve a sealed warrant, without explanation to the community. Meanwhile, they're continuing in a pre-May Day campaign of targeted harassment against local activists -- in Portland, Oakland, Olympia, and Seattle. They're shutting down entire city blocks with military hardware. They're harassing activists at home, at places of work, at school, even on their jogging routes.

This, after more than two years of coordinated nation-wide violence directed against peaceful protesters working for social justice. This is the face of terror in America, that threatens our freedoms and our way of life. We will neither be intimidated, nor baited. Instead, we reclaim the streets for radically-positive community action! These are OUR STREETS, and we claim them for peace and revelry!

JOIN US TO SAY, WITH ONE VOICE, THAT OUR STREETS ARE NO PLACE FOR THE FBI'S WEAPONS OF WAR!

While this event is permitted by our sovereign rights as free human beings, this event is not permitted by the city.
