DESCRIPTION:We Stand With Our Immigrant Brothers and Sisters\n\nThe death of young 
 Kathryn Steinle at the S.F. Embarcadero was tragic, and a great loss to her 
 family and friends.  But her death has been opportunistically seized upon 
 by some very ugly political forces to whip up racist, white supremacist 
 hatred and fear – against immigrants.\n\nPresidential candidate Donald 
 Trump (a fascist, who, in the 80’s, led the outcry for the immediate 
 execution of 5 innocent Black youth - jailed unjustly for years in the 
 Central Park Jogger case in NYC) is now whipping up this lynch mob 
 hysteria. Trump is joined by Diane Feinstein, Hillary Clinton, and others 
 in the political “Shark Tank”, circling, eager to rip into the broader 
 immigrant population.\n\nThey are doing this to target not only immigrants, 
 but good people in San Francisco (and other cities) that have passed 
 Sanctuary laws that treat immigrants with some measure of 
 humanity!\n\nWhile these politicians howl with feigned outrage against this 
 tragic killing, WE MUST ASK, where was their outrage around the thousands 
 of Black and Brown people killed by police, the hundreds of immigrants who 
 die yearly crossing the border or the more than a million of OUR immigrant 
 brothers, sisters deported, with many families torn apart these past seven 
 years?\n\nDylan Roof, the young man who murdered nine people in the Mother 
 Emanuel church in Charleston was an open, avowed white supremacist. But the 
 hatred in his heart for Black people was planted there by this system. Now 
 the same system, and the same politicians who cried crocodile tears over 
 Charleston, are leading an attack on another group of non-white people. 
 \n\nOver the past year we’ve seen, and been part of, a beautiful 
 outpouring of resistance to one horrific expression of this system – the 
 murder by police of Black and brown people.  Now we need to rise up in 
 struggle to stand with our immigrant Sisters and Brothers against the 
 system that is looking for ways to divide us and reinforce their rule over 
 us.\n\nWhile the system demonizes immigrants, we embrace them as brothers 
 and sisters.\nWhile they want us to be quiet and complacent we need to step 
 up our movement!\n\nThe Stop Mass Incarceration Network has put out a call 
 initiated by Carl Dix and Cornel West for a RISE UP OCTOBER, a massive 
 mobilization of protest in New York, October 24, to stop the spearpoint of 
 a whole matrix of oppression – the targeting, murdering and 
 criminalization of Black and Latino brothers and sisters. \n\nTo quote from 
 the Call for October 24: \n  “This demonstration will be 
 resistance-based, uncompromising in spirit and at the same time, 
 pluralistic and diverse, involving hundreds of thousands of people, 
 reaching into every corner of this society and powerfully impacting the 
 whole world.  History has shown that no significant change has been won 
 without mass determined resistance.”  \n\nJoin us, and tens of thousands 
 of others, in the streets of New York City, October 24th\n\n
