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. In light blue text reads "COINTELPRO 2020: How the FBI continues efforts to disrupt the fight for racial justice in America.

Join us this THURSDAY, March 5 at 10am EST, as our #ProtectBlackDissent campaign heads to Capitol Hill to host a Congressional briefing on how the FBI continues to disrupt the fight for racial justice and how we’re organizing to resist surveillance tactics. Sponsored by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) and featuring remarks by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), you’ll also hear from our briefing panelists including our own Myaisha Hayes (Campaigns Director at MediaJustice), Gerardo Romo (ACLU Racial Justice Program), Keedran Franklin (Coalition of Concerned Citizens), Alice Speri (The Intercept) and Sandra Fulton (Free Press Action).
Not able to join us in DC? Not a problem! Watch the briefing LIVE via our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MediaJustice/
There’s no better time than now to raise our voices and fight for our freedom! We look forward to seeing you on the Hill on Thursday.
In Solidarity,
Myaisha and the rest of Team #MediaJustice
