Mass Mobilization Against The Alt-Right in Washington D.C., August 10-12
Mass Mobilization Against The Alt-Right in Washington DC, August 10-12
We are calling all anti-fascists and people of good conscience to
participate in international days of action August 10 through August 12
and a mass mobilization in Washington DC.
This is for Heather Heyer, ICE abolition, open borders, dismantling
the prison industrial complex, and ending the settler colonial system.
We will confront fascism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, white supremacy,
and state violence on August 10-12.
Our lives were forever changed on August 12, 2017, when neo-Nazis,
KKK and militia members, and Alt-Right trolls from across the US and
North America converged on the town of Charlottesville, Virginia.
White supremacists lit torches and attacked students as young as 17
last year while the police looked on and did nothing. The next day,
people bravely confronted hundreds of armed racists. In the ensuing
confrontation, one person gave her life, and many more were scarred
forever. Tens of thousands immediately took to the streets. Suddenly the
world would never be the same.
Old statues fell. And a new street-based, grassroots power rose.
Now the white supremacists want to come back. On August 12, 2018, the
Alt-Right will hold “Unite the Right 2” in Washington DC in front of
the White House at Lafayette Square. Jason Kessler, Richard Spencer, and
the Trump Adminstration are all implicated in the murder of Heather
Heyer. The Alt-Right relentlessly harass and threaten people of color,
women, sex workers, trans and non-binary people, and the undocumented.
Their rallies are all public displays of violence and calls for
genocide. They are Brian Trainer and every killer cop. They are the ICE
agents. They are the prison system that breaks up families. In Portland,
DC, and Philly, the movement grows. We occupy ICE offices, confront
racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, and white nationalism.
We will be in the streets on August 10-12, and we intend to win.
In Charlottesville: Community members are mobilizing to show that
anti-racist, anti-fascist resistance continues regardless of whether
Nazis actually show up. Join and support them on August 11-12.
Inside D.C.
Jason Kessler will find no rest, no refuge, no respite. Communities
in DC will unite against hate, borders, prison, and the vision of Unite
the Right.
Outside D.C.
If you can’t make it to Washington DC on August 10-12, take to the
streets wherever you are. We call on our comrades to organize
demonstrations and other actions for the night of August 12. Occupy an
ICE office, shut down a police station, or demonstrate at the home of a
local racist, ICE agent, or prison profiteer.
Outside the United States
If you are living outside the US, you can take action at US
embassies, borders, or other symbols of colonial power. Our allegiance
is not to “making America great again,” but to all of humanity and the
planet.
