January 11th was the one year anniversary of the death of digital rights champion Aaron Swartz. He allegedly took his own life while facing up to 50 years in prison for violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) arising from the downloading of millions of documents from the online research group JSTOR. The Swartz family stated that this was “the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach” and rightfully blasted Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for failing to support Aaron Swartz in his legal battles and refusing to stand up for “its own community’s most cherished principles.” Not only was his death a huge loss for his family, but it was a loss in the fight for freedom of information.

From The Day We Fight Back :
“In January 2012 we defeated the SOPA and PIPA censorship legislation with the largest Internet protest in history. A year ago this month one of that movement’s leaders, Aaron Swartz, tragically passed away. Today we face a different threat, one that undermines the Internet, and the notion that any of us live in a genuinely free society: mass surveillance. If Aaron were alive, he’d be on the front lines, fighting against a world in which governments observe, collect, and analyze our every digital action. Now, on the the anniversary of Aaron’s passing, and in celebration of the win against SOPA and PIPA that he helped make possible, we are planning a day of protest against mass surveillance, to take place this February 11th.”

Full press release

Denver’s solidarity day of protest will be February 5th to coincide with our Million Mask March IV which take place the 5th of every month.
As we celebrate our past wins we keep in the forefront the current threats against our privacy and rights to free speech.

NSA
We are against having our every communication monitored. The NSA’s far overreaching surveillance programs threaten the the privacy and personal liberties of every citizen, regardless of “legal status,” and undermines the Fourth Amendment. We deny the NSA any claim over our data/metadata. We are including Model Legislation that our state lawmakers can use to fight the encroachment of this modern Stasi. Oklahoma has done it, so why can’t we?

TPP
We are against the Trans-Pacific Partnership because its provisions about internet copyright law, maintained by an imperialist and inhuman global financial system, cut off our collective voice and our access to source material crucial to building dual power.

According to a September 2013 report by the Center for Economic and Policy Research “Estimates of the U.S. economic gains that would result from the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) are very small — only 0.13 percent of GDP by 2025.” We ask, what’s the human cost for this pitiful financial gain?

Countries around the Earth will suffer from increased medical costs as well as deregulation of International Environmental Protection Standards which will allow corporations to unleash mayhem with little to no oversight of their undermining of the People’s electrical, water and gas sources as well as encouraging deforestation on large scales.

“Immigration reform legislation is also moving forward. The proposed reform includes a “border surge” of militarization and related benchmarks that must go into effect before road to citizenship provisions kick in. This surge would include between $30 and $50 billion for “security,” including the construction of 350 to 700 more miles of the border wall. The number of agents on the border would be doubled to 40,000. The US-Mexico border would become one of the most militarized borders in the world.”

“Also closely related is the proliferation of private prisons, especially immigration detention centers. Militarized borders and new prisons help manage social disruptions as well as political dissent resulting from FTAs. Criminalization of the undocumented creates a sub-class of workers denied basic labor rights while forced to work long hours for low wages. The ones who benefit are transnational corporations and agribusinesses.”

“Leonard Peltier is a Native American activist wrongfully accused in 1975 in connection with the shooting deaths of two agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Government documents show that, without any evidence at all, the FBI decided from the beginning of its investigation to ‘lock Peltier into the case’.”

We demand the immediate release of ALL political prisoners who have not had their appeals met by the corrupted powers of the Federal government, which seeks to undermine our self-determination as Free People of the World, including those fighting for Black Liberation Freedom such as:
