Press release from the Coalition for Racial Justice and Unity:
Non-Violent Anti-Nazi Rally
September 3, 1 pm, West Allis City Hall, 7621 W. Greenfield Ave.
Concerned individuals and members from over 30 organizations will unite September 3, 2011, to say no to fear and racism when the Nazis come to rally at the West Allis City Hall. Join us at 1pm at the West Allis City Hall, 76th and Greenfield, to nonviolently confront this racist presence in our community.
The Nazis are using the unfortunate incidents at the Wisconsin State Fair in West Allis to further their own racist agenda. We refuse to let anyone drive the spike of racism into the heart of our community. We unite to eliminate divisions and focus on the roots of the problems. Racial divisiveness leads to distrust and violence whether spontaneous or instigated. We continue to educate, unite and work tirelessly to build a positive community.
The Coalition for Racial Justice and Unity has agreed to the following points of unity:
• Racism is the enemy of progressive movements, and humanity. We combat it with racial justice, tolerance and responsibility.
• Milwaukee residents suffer from chronic joblessness rates ranging from 10% for the general population to over 50% for Black males. This is affecting everyone, but it affects communities of color most significantly.
• Instead of focusing on fighting each other, we should be focused on ending wars, cutting our massive military expenditures, and allocating resources to serve domestic needs of the people, especially the needs of our youth.
• We commit to working against racism whether personal or institutional. We call for reallocating necessary resources to protect and restore services in our community and increase job opportunities for all.
• We encourage the entire community to participate in other gatherings opposing the Nazi Rally such as the LUV Brigade Rally on Sept. 3rd at 9:30 am at Red Arrow Park, 1000 N. Water St., the Critical Mass bicycling event and other community events earlier in the day and then join us at 1pm to rally at the West Allis City Hall.
Join us September 3rd as we stand together for non-violence, peace and racial justice. Together, we say, “No to Fear, Hate and Racism!”
