Public Meeting: Defend Edward Snowden!
NSA Spying and the Accelerating Disintegration of Democracy in the U.S.
Where: UC Berkeley, room TBA (on Monday, September 16)
When: 7:00-9:00pm, Tuesday, September 17
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden continues to release stunning documentation of the breathtaking scope of unconstitutional NSA spying in the US and internationally. These formerly secret spy programs are deeply unpopular in the US and worldwide, yet they enjoy strong bipartisan support. The near-universal condemnation of Snowden in US media, including many pundits and academics critical of similar policies under Bush, testifies to the absence of any genuine constituency within the ruling class willing to defend the democratic principles laid out in the bill of rights.
Despite a vitriolic campaign of vilification, Snowden continues to enjoy broad support within the US and international working class (i.e. the vast majority of the population). If we want to keep our hard-won democratic rights, it is up to us to organize to defend Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, and the generation of whistleblowers that will reveal the greater government crimes that are likely coming.
