DESCRIPTION:Not In Our Streets: A Statement Against Far-Right Terror\n\nFor four 
 consecutive Saturdays, Proud Boys, Trump supporters, and the far-right have 
 rallied at the State Capitol in Sacramento. These demonstrations are not 
 simply about Trump vs. Biden or Republican vs. Democrat. The far-right is 
 using electoral politics as a platform to incite violence, terror and 
 harrassment.\n\nAs we have seen, anyone on the street is a target. The 
 far-right have harrassed, threatened, pepper sprayed, chased, and beaten 
 our unhoused neighbors, volunteers distributing food, restaurant workers, 
 minors, random pedestrians, activists, media, legal observers, and 
 volunteer medics. They have specifically targeted black and brown folks in 
 the downtown/midtown area.\n\nThe far-right have marched through our city 
 and declared it theirs, and they are planning to continue this behaviour 
 indefinitely despite the recent COVID-19 restrictions.\n\nThe Sacramento 
 Police Department (SPD) has openly encouraged this violence against our 
 community. During these rallies, multiple pieces of video footage have 
 shown law enforcement looking the other way while far-right attackers 
 carried illegal weapons and committed mob assaults. SPD has declined to 
 detain a single far right agitator, choosing instead to stand down and then 
 subsequently arrested the victims of their attacks. Counter-protesters and 
 victims of far-right violence have also been held at unreasonably high 
 bail.\n\nEach week, the far-right has escalated their violence against our 
 city. Ignoring them will not make them go away, and we refuse to let them 
 continue. Instead, we must come together and defend our community.\n\nWe 
 are calling on all individuals and organizations to join us in taking a 
 united stand against far-right extremism and organized terror.\n\nPoints of 
 Unity\n\n1. Stand against white supremacy: Hatred, bigotry, and police 
 terror in all forms are unacceptable. We condemn these far-right rallies, 
 law enforcement’s collusion, our elected officials’ complicit silence, 
 and the violence and hate it has brought to our city.\n\n2. Reject 
 far-right terror: Sacramento residents should be able to go about their 
 daily lives without harrassment. Our unhoused neighbors should feel safe 
 obtaining food in public spaces. Our youth should not be indiscriminately 
 assaulted by fanatics and then arrested by law enforcement.\n\n3. Community 
 defense: The state won’t save us. We must rely on each other when our 
 community is under attack. We are committed to working together toward 
 racial justice, equity, intersectionality, and empowerment against all 
 forms of oppression.\n\n4. Strength in unity: Together, we can stand up to 
 this threat through solidarity, mass action, and a diversity of 
 tactics.\n\n5. The time is now: History has shown us that standing idle in 
 the face of far-right extremists only makes them stronger. We must act 
 decisively today, so that far-right violence and terror does not grow 
 tomorrow.\n\nWe, the undersigned organizations of Sacramento and the 
 Northern California area, condemn these rallies and call upon our members 
 and our greater community to stand up against far-right violence and 
 bigotry on Saturday, December 5th, 10 am, at Fremont Park.\n\nNorCal
