Saturday, 3 pm - Meeting to organize against Minuteman founder Chris Simcox

[Shaun Harkin]

The information from the DePaul students organizing the meeting is listed below. If anyone from March 10 can go it would be great. We can add this to the agenda for the Tuesday night meeting. May Day Youth can also discuss it on Saturday. The various committees can find a way to coordinate organizing.

*Please forward*

Chris Simcox, founder of the Minutemen and a disgusting racist, is coming to speak at DePaul University on Monday, May 19th, at Cortelyou Commons. The Minutemen, of course, are thugs who "patrol" the Mexican border and kidnap, threaten, and even kill undocumented workers attempting to cross into the United States to find work.

Just as an example of the racist screed we can expect to hear:
"Take heed of our weapons because we're going to defend our borders by any means necessary," he said...Of illegal immigrants, Simcox added: "They're trashing their neighborhoods, refusing to assimilate, standing on street corners, jeering at little girls walking on their
way to school."

Activists from DePaul student organizations and from around the city will be meeting Saturday afternoon to discuss what actions to take, to protest and make clear that we won't accept offensive hate speech on our campus.

Please join us to help organize:
3:00 pm 3rd floor of the Lincoln Park Student Center
Belden & Sheffield (a block away from the Fullerton El stop)

Solidarity,
Kathryn
