Solidarity Statements

Lake Forest Friends Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) stands in support of the 23 activists in their non-violent peace work who are currently under investigation for exercising their constitutionally protected rights to dissent from United States policies in the Middle East and elsewhere. Specifically, we support those people who have been the target of FBI raids and have been issued subpoenas to testify before a federal grand jury because of anti-war activities or support of populations considered terrorists. We feel the investigations are unjustified.
