[News] Emergency Mobilization Against the Minute Men Rally in SF Tomorrow 10:30am

[Anti-Imperialist News]

Comrades,

We just got a call at the Catalyst office from our allies at St. 
Peter's Housing Committee about the anti-immigrant Minute Men holding 
a rally at SF City Hall tomorrow morning at 11am.

Immigrant rights groups are mobilizing and have asked us to help 
mobilize white anti-racists to stand up for both immigrant rights, 
and demonstrate our power as a multi-racial social justice movement 
in the Bay Area.

We'll be there tomorrow and ask you all to join us if you can, and 
help spread the word to your folks.

Our message as white anti-racists will be one of solidarity across 
race, class and gender for immigrant rights and worker power.  We 
will come together to undermine the strategy of divide and rule of 
the ruling class and say that as white people committed to justice, 
we are here for immigrant rights and the rights and dignity of all 
people.  We will be clear in our opposition to white supremacy and 
our commitment to building working class multiracial movements for 
collective liberation.  The Minute Men do not speak for the white 
community, and we will be there to raise another voice and message.

Let me know if you can be there tomorrow at 10:30.  Details are below 
from Renee Saucedo of the Day Labor Program.

Let tomorrow be a day when the Minute Men's effort to advance racism 
becomes a catalyst for multiracial alliance building in the Bay Area 
and let the participation of white anti-racists provide alternative 
and visible roles that white people more broadly can see themselves 
stepping into - rather then the racist roles played by the Minute Men 
for addressing the real economic inequality and hardship experienced, 
let it be anti-racist roles working for economic justice and democracy for all.

Use this opportunity to mobilize your friends and family.

Join us and bring a friend.

Spread the word and add your own explanation for the importance of 
this action.  Turn this into a moment to develop your anti-racist 
leadership, the leadership that our communities need and deserve.

If you cannot be there, use it to spark conversations where ever you 
are over the next day or two, and lift up your vision and 
politics.  More then denouncing the Minute Men as racist, speak to 
the broader issues of economics, anti-immigrant politics as divide 
and rule and how racism hurts white people materially, 
psychologically and spiritually.

Be as bold and courageous as the change we need.

With love for our people and the movement we are building, and rage 
for the conditions we are up against,
-Chris
