FBI Agents Harass Local Activists - Red Wing United

In an effort to go beyond the artificial divide and build consensus between the Laredo Free Thinkers and Red Wing United...Hector COMBO invites Alec Martinez from Red Wing United . RWU is a mutual-aid society that is actively & directly helping out the community by hosting teach-ins and aiding low-income families with people-powered relief programs.

“Doing relief work teaches you a lot about who’s got your back in times like these, and it’s your neighbor.”

A recent video purports to show FBI agents visiting an activist from RWU for his participation in peaceful demonstration

"This video depicts a visit to some of our Red Wing members by alleged federal agents (FBI) a few days after our City Hall protest. We exercised our rights and requested an attorney before answering any questions and they left, but some other activists haven’t been so lucky. We’ve heard of Laredo activists being watched, some getting raided, and others having their cars searched unnecessarily at checkpoints. Of course, none of these attempts have turned up anything illegal.

We are a peaceful organization dedicated to helping our community. During COVID, we supplied nearly 1,000 households with food, medicine, and baby supplies. During the water crisis, we held clean water drives. Now, we are fixing air conditioners for the elderly. But sometimes improving the community requires us to be critical of our leaders, and it seems that they do not like being questioned. "
