Last week, the Attorney General of Michigan issued criminal charges
against 9 protesters who demonstrated for a ceasefire in Gaza on the
University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus last spring.

As Justice Democrats Rep. Rashida Tlaib pointed out, this is a clear
attack on students’ freedom of speech, which they were using to stand on
the right side of history and demand an end to the ongoing genocide
against innocent Palestinians.

[ [link removed] ]The AG failed to deliver justice for the victims of the Flint Water
Crisis but has time to bring frivolous charges that only serve to silence
those speaking out against a genocidal apartheid regime? This shameful
attack on students’ rights will fail. Follow the Constitution.

But it gets worse.

A new investigation from the Detroit Free Press found that Detroit police
have spent years monitoring the social media accounts of protesters, even
if they’re not suspected of any crime. When they denied surveilling
ceasefire demonstrators last spring, they lied.

Rashida once again spoke out and stood with activists: “If you stand up
for justice in Detroit, you will be targeted for repression by the Detroit
Police. This is a City gov't that has wasted millions targeting activists.
This has to end.”

We agree, and clearly, we need more progressive, anti-war leaders like
Rashida who are willing to fight for the rights of their constituents
against this targeted surveillance and censorship in Washington.
