</font><font size=4><b>Comrades,<br><br>
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.<br><br>
</b></font><font size=3>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.<br><br>
We'll be there tomorrow and ask you all to join us if you can, and help
spread the word to your folks. <br><br>
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.<br><br>
</font><font size=4><b>Let me know if you can be there tomorrow at
10:30. Details are below from Renee Saucedo of the Day Labor
Program. <br><br>
</b></font><font size=3>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.<br><br>
Use this opportunity to mobilize your friends and family. <br><br>
Join us and bring a friend.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
Be as bold and courageous as the change we need. <br><br>
With love for our people and the movement we are building, and rage for
the conditions we are up against,<br>
-Chris <br><br>
