Buffalo, NY

The Democracy Center
45 Mount Auburn St,
Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138

For two years beginning in 2012, the FBI used informants & extensive
surveillance in an eco-terrorism conspiracy investigation into Buffalo’s
radical bookstore, Burning Books. Undercover agents were sent to public
events at Burning Books while co-owners had their mail copied, were placed
on a secret list for airline travel, were subject to over a dozen federal
grand jury subpoenas, were followed around & had their photographs secretly
taken by teams of FBI agents & much more.

Leslie James Pickering, alleged “mastermind sociopath” of the conspiracy &
former Spokesperson for the Earth Liberation Front Press Office, exposes
secret FBI files, tactics deployed by the FBI against activists &
strategies for resisting state repression in this shocking & eye-opening
presentation.

Join us at The Democracy Center to welcome Leslie James Pickering and hear
him speak about activism, community, and his experience with surveillance
and harassment from the FBI and federal government.

Attorney Michael Kuzma of the National Lawyers Guild has led Leslie's legal
team through a series of Freedom Of Information Act lawsuits, forcing the
FBI to release the over 30,000 pages of files it has on him by July of
2017.  See: http://www.lesliejamespickering.com/
