Sunday meetup: Allies against racism

Victoria Anti-Racist Action

6:30pm
- 9:00pm
Sunday February 17 2013

We're sharing info about white supremacist and misogynist threats to our friends and neighbours in Coast Salish and Nuu-chah-nulth territories (Victoria BC and the south Island).Join us for cocoa, fries, and discussion with like-minded folks.

We meet at QV on Sundays because that's where the wackos used to meet, until we turfed them out.

Anti-Racist Action has four points of unity.
 
1. We go where they go. Whenever fascists are organizing or active in public, we're there. We don't believe in ignoring them or staying away from them. Never let the Nazis have the street!
 
2. We don't rely on the cops or courts to do our work for us. This doesn't mean we never go to court, but the cops uphold white supremacy and the status quo. They attack us and everyone who resists oppression. We must rely on ourselves to protect ourselves and stop the fascists.
 
3. Non-sectarian defence of other anti-fascists. In ARA, we have a lot of different groups and individuals. We don't agree about everything and we have a right to differ openly. But in this movement an attack on one is an attack on us all. We stand behind each other.
 
4. We support abortion rights and reproductive freedom. ARA intends to do the hard work necessary to build a broad, strong movement against racism, sexism, anti-immigrant, anti-indigenous sovereignty, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, discrimination against the disabled, the oldest, the youngest, and the most oppressed people. We want a classless, free society. We intend to win!
