Protest the Nazis at L.A. City Hall
Saturday, April 17, 2010, 11:00am
Say “No!” to anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, racist, anti-union, homophobic & sexist bigotry!
March 30, 2010
Dear Friends,
We, the undersigned community activists, urge you to help build a mass demonstration in opposition to the National Socialist Movement rally being held in honor of Hitler’s birthday, Saturday, April 17, at L.A.’s City Hall. The NSM is holding a national convention in the City of Angels to promote their mission of “reclaiming the Southwest.”
We say “Never Again!” Let’s greet these fascists with a huge, broad-based, multi-hued, multi-gendered counter-demonstration!
The NSM is a national Nazi party whose program calls for building a nation of all-whites, free of immigrants, Jews, homosexuals, and “pro-Marxist unions”, where abortion is a crime and fathers rule the nuclear family. In the last two years, their new Riverside, CA chapter has flaunted swastika flags outside a Jewish temple on Hanukkah; patrolled the U.S./Mexico border, boasting they were “armed up”; and held two anti-immigrant protests, claiming they are “standing up for American workers.” Each of these racist rallies was outnumbered and foiled by hundreds of Inland Empire counter-demonstrators.
Hitler himself said the Nazis could have been stopped when they were just small bands of thugs attacking unionists in Germany. Let’s not let these white supremacists get a foot-hold in California. ¡Civil rights, Sí! ¡Fascismo, No!
Gather at 11:00am at First and Spring, on the sidewalk at the Southwest corner of the City Hall block (NSM has a permit for noon at the south lawn of City Hall.). Bring your friends and neighbors, your picket signs and noise-making pots and pans, and take a stand against bigotry!
