As the U.S. government continues its terrorist and repressive occupation of Iraq, it has also waged a war against freedom fighters and revolutionaries in the U.S.

In the past year, the U.S. government has increased the bounty on Assata Shakur and added her name to the domestic terrorist list, has intervened in the case of the Cuban 5 in order to undo the decision of the 11th Circuit Court for a retrial, and masterminded the political assassination of Puerto Rican revolutionary leader Filiberto Ojeda Rios.

Join The Popular Education Project to Free the Cuban 5, Hands off Assata Coalition and the ProLibertad Freedom Campaign for a night of discussion and dialogue about U.S. terrorism and repression in our communities.
