****PREVIOUS MESSAGE****


Dear Friend,

With the FBI surveilling Black freedom fighters under the racist Black Identity Extremist designation, it’s abundantly clear that COINTELPRO (the FBI’s Counter Intelligence Program) is still alive and well today. However, we wouldn’t be Team #MediaJustice if we weren’t prepared to fight back! [Graphic] Background image of Black activist with American flag.
