The social unrest roiling Quebec is colour-coded red. One cannot miss the hundreds of thousands of people with cloth of the colour pinned to their coats and satchels; the stickers pasted on street poles and storefront mannequins; and the sheets fluttering from balconies and windows. The red squares – punning visually on a French expression to be squarely in the red, or in debt – are a gesture of solidarity with university and college students on a massive general strike against government tuition fee hikes.
Stop government surveillance of student activists

What's happening:
Many student peace and civil liberties groups, most notably UC Santa Cruz Students Against War, UW-Madison's Stop the War, and NYU Law's chapter of OUTLAW, have been subjected to ongoing federal government surveillance. These and other non-violent campus organizations were recently described as "Threats to National Security" in a Pentagon report.
What you can do:
Stand Up for the Law is organizing law students, professors, and citizens from across the political spectrum on a campaign of education and action. Law students should sign their petition here: http://www.petitiononline.com/LSAEE/petition.html
