Dozens of racial justice and civil liberties groups on Wednesday demanded the Department of Homeland Security release an unredacted version of their so-called “Race Paper,” an internal memo which the department has leaned on to justify surveillance of racial justice activists.

“We are concerned that biases and inaccuracies reflected in the ‘Race Paper’ could result in unconstitutional law enforcement activities throughout the country that disproportionately impact activists, protesters, and communities of color,” wrote the groups, which included Free Press, the Brennan Center for Justice, Color of Change, and the NAACP.

The memo and the efforts it covers, the groups and other critics say, are part of the government’s attempts to portray anti-racist groups like Black Lives Matter as dangerous, surveil black communities, and suppress dissent.

According to the groups, the memo—officially titled Growing Frequency of Race-Related Domestic Terrorist Violence—”may improperly suggest that constitutionally-protected Black political speech should be considered an indicator of criminal conduct or a national security threat.”

“There is zero evidence that Black activist movements fighting for racial justice and against police brutality have been co-opted by violent terrorists.”    —Sandra Fulton, Free Press
