DESCRIPTION:ROOTS (formerly Occupy the Hood), People’s Community Medics, and the 
 Malcolm X Grassroots Movement invite you to join the Million Hoodie & Hijab 
 contingent on May Day as part of the Dignity and Resistance march in 
 Fruitvale & the International May Day mobilizations for workers & 
 im/migrants.\n\nTuesday, May 1\nMeet at 3:00pm at Fruitvale BART 
 plaza.\nAfter the rally, we'll join the march to San Antonio Park and on to 
 Downtown Oakland.\n\nUniting our struggles against racist profiling and 
 oppression\nIn honor of: Trayvon Martin (Sanford, FL), Sergio Huereca (El 
 Paso), Shaima Alawadi (San Diego), Oscar Grant (Oakland), Ramarley Graham 
 (Bronx), Rekia Boyd (Chicago), Danny Chen (U.S. Army), Kenneth Chamberlain 
 (NY), Agnes Torres (Puebla) and all people attacked, detained, brutalized, 
 and killed by racist violence.\n\nWe will wear our hoodies, our hijabs, our 
 rebosos, in solidarity with each other for:\n\n* An end to police brutality 
 and vigilante murders *\n* An end to splitting up and deporting our 
 families *\n* An end to the oppression of all immigrant communities *\n* An 
 end to all forms of racism, xenophobia, and homophobia *\n* An end to 
 evictions, foreclosures, and gentrification *\n* An end to school closures 
 and funneling our children into private prisons *\n\nWe call for Black, 
 Brown, & Arab Unity against institutional racism\nWe want: Schools not 
 jails. Homes not banks. People not profits. Immigrant rights. Civil Rights. 
 HUMAN rights for all!\n\nThis is NOT about a piece of clothing...this is 
 about America's criminal disregard for our lives: for Black life, for 
 Muslim life, for the lives of Im/migrants and poor people. We are not 
 disposable. We are mothers, fathers, aunties, tios, sons, daughters, and 
 elders -- and we WILL have our human rights.\n\nWe call for an end to white 
 supremacy and for the institution of a National Plan of Action for Racial 
 Justice, as proposed by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and others. 
 http://mxgm.org/trayvon-martin-is-all-of-us/\n\nThis action is for all our 
 beautiful Oakland diasporas. For East, West, and North Oakland. For youth, 
 for the church folks, for the artists and agitators, for teachers, for 
 first-time marchers, for veteran freedom fighters, for aunties and uncles & 
 everybody who loves justice...\n\nBring your signs! Your songs! Your 
 chants! And most importantly...your folks!\n\nIf your group would like to 
 endorse and/or participate in this contingent, let us know!\n\nFacebook:

 Note: This contingent will be part of the Dignity and Resistance march, 
 which is being organized by a wide range of immigrant rights and 
 Decolonize/Occupy activists. While we never know how the police are going 
 to respond, both this march and contingent are being organized to be 
 non-violent and family-friendly. There will be many actions going on during 
 May Day in Oakland, and we hope this will be a strong day for the diverse, 
 powerful people of the 99%.\n\nWe also stand in solidarity with the Occupy 
 the Justice Department actions in Washington, DC on April 24 and the 
 National Day of Action for Trayvon Martin on April 26.\n\nFor more info on
