Spread the word! THIS SATURDAY IN VICTORIA: Famed neo-Nazi defender Doug Christie and other white male "libertarians" are speaking at a rally at the BC Legislature, under a fake "occupy" banner. See http://www.facebook.com/events/488134231205939/)

Members of "We Are Change Victoria" (the organizers who invited Christie) are the same assholes who tried to co-opt the People's Assembly of Victoria. They disrupted events, harassed and stalked women, and worse. Several chapters of WAC are on the Southern Poverty Law Center's HateWatch list for their views.

We predict no more than 75 people rallying for Christie, and we'd like to see ten times that number in the counterprotest. Please pass it on!
The list of speakers orginally included Paul Grignon, Will Thomas, Walter McGinnis, Raymond Geisler, Jamie Scott, Kevin Proteau, Robert Menard, and David Arthur Johnson.
Paul Grignon and Will Thomas have withdrawn. Paul has sent this letter to the organizers.
