DESCRIPTION:Come to a strategizing/organizing session to fight these right-wing 
 racists!\n\nFollowing the lead of activists in Southern California, the Bay 
 Area, and the immigrant, Latin@, Chican@ and indigenous communities who are 
 most impacted by these heinous racists, we will attempt to formulate a plan 
 of resistance to counter those who would divide us with borders and 
 selectively proclaim some human beings as “illegal.”\n\nIn April, under 
 the rhetoric of fighting terrorism and protecting the economy, an armed and 
 insidiously racist vigilante organization called the Minuteman Project 
 organized patrols of the Arizona border with Mexico.\n\nThese right-wing, 
 anti-immigrant activists and their allies are now expanding the border 
 patrol project to New Mexico, Texas and California.  In California, one 
 patrol will begin on July 18, another on September 16 (intentionally 
 scheduled on Mexico’s Independence Day) and a third during October.  
 \n\nIn their words and deeds they have shown they have no qualms about 
 using violence.  At a protest against a talk being given by Minuteman 
 founder Jim Gilchrist, a Minuteman supporter drove his car into a group of 
 demonstrators, sending two to the hospital.  While he was not charged by 
 police, seven protesters were arrested and charged with eight felonies.  
 Some had bail set as high as $50,000.\n
