Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

FBI Issues New Subpoenas of Antiwar & Pro-Palestinian Activists

HeadlineDec 22, 2010

The FBI has subpoenaed the managing editor of the website Electronic Intifada as part of a widening probe into antiwar and pro-Palestinian activists. Maureen Murphy is at least the 23rd activist to have been subpoenaed since September, when the FBI raided the homes of several organizers in Chicago and Minneapolis. Many of the subpoenas have targeted organizers with the Chicago-based Palestine Solidarity Group. On Tuesday, Murphy said, “We are being targeted for the work we do to end U.S. funding of the Israeli occupation, ending the war in Afghanistan, and ending the occupation of Iraq.” Editor’s note: The subpoena received by Murphy did not involve her work with Electronic Intifada, and Electronic Intifada is not mentioned in any of the subpoenas that have been issued.]
