Take Action Free Speech


Help stop the Pentagon’s offensive on free speech (from American Friends Service Committee)

Two years ago, the Defense Department directed its Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA) to establish a domestic law enforcement database that included information related to “potential terrorist threats directed against the Department of Defense.”

Earlier this week, NBC broke the story that the Pentagon was using the system to collect information on peaceful gatherings and counter-recruiting activities.

NBC obtained a 400 page printout from the database of which 8 pages have been released. In those few pages, we learn that “threatening” events in the database include handing out literature in front of military recruiting stations and commemorating the second anniversary of the Iraq War.

Tell Congress that you support our fundamental right to speak our mind and organize on the issues of the day. This new wave of spying can only be seen as a threat to our rights to free speech and the freedom of assembly.

Take Action
