Maryland residents were shocked at the revelations earlier this year that the Maryland State Police were covertly gathering information on progressive and nonviolent Maryland activists working to oppose the death penalty and to oppose the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. For over a year, the police spied on these activists at their public meetings in Baltimore and Takoma Park including the Takoma Park Presbyterian Church.

Come out and attend a very important forum with:

* Local Maryland activists spied upon by Maryland police:
Maria Allwine and Max Obuszewski with Baltimore Pledge of Resistance,
Mike Stark and Dave Zirin with the Campaign to End the Death Penalty

* Jamie Raskin, Maryland State Senator and American University constitutional law professor

* David Rocah, lead attorney with the Maryland ACLU campaign to expose spying on Maryland activists

* Ann Wilcox, of the National Lawyers Guild, who will report on year-long spying against activists who attended the Republican National Convention protests in Minnesota
