1/ The FBI has been very active over the last 24 hours in several different states. We are seeing reports of door knocks and attempts to contact a wide spectrum of organizers, leftists, anti-fascists and anarchists.
2/ To keep yourself + your community safe never talk to the FBI, other federal agents or police. If you are approached, invoke your right to remain silent and then maintain that silence. Here is a very helpful guide for a variety of scenarios. crimethinc.com/2017/08/24/whe…
3/ If you are contacted by the FBI or other law enforcement agency please call the National Lawyers Guild's federal repression hotline:
212-679-2811 nlg.org/nlg-announces-…
And email us at psps(@)riseup(dot)net
4/The reality of white supremacy, that communities of color have known for centuries has been laid bare for a more mainstream audience since 1/6. With it, historically racist orgs like the FBI are trying to position themselves on the side of those confronting white nationalism.
5/ BIPOC organizers, radicals, anti-fascists and anarchists know that the history of federal law enforcement is a history of violence against BIPOC communities and political dissidents. They can not be on the side of those fighting for a better world.
6/ So, EVEN if the FBI is trying to get you to give them info about your knowledge of the far-right, and they attempt to position themselves as "on your side", Do Not speak with them. They have and will use your comments against you and your community. We keep us safe.

Quick thread on No Charges Filed (NCF). The majority of ppl arrested since the beginning of the uprising have not had charges filed. A VERY important thing to remember is that these charges(or others) CAN be filed in the future. #BLM#JailSupport#seattleprotests
In our 5+ year history we've seen the state not file charges on protest related cases, and then bring those charges back 1 to 1.5 years later. The KC/City Attorney offices are under no legal obligation to not prosecute charges in the future, regardless of what they say today.
Risk assessment is about having all the info to make informed decisions. We ask that you keep these future charges in mind while engaging with the movement. We would never tell people to be more quiet or take less risks-just to keep things in mind and be prepared for the future…
