DESCRIPTION:The Bay Area Coalition to Fight the Minutemen is mobilizing an action  to 
 oppose the Minutemen Project's rally to gather public support for  their 
 attempts to harass poor, undocumented border-crossers and to  announce 
 their support of a new initiative that would establish a state border 
 police in addition to the existing federal border patrol. This rally will 
 take place in Sacramento on the Capitol steps on October  29th from 10am to 
 12:30pm. It will feature the founder of the  Minutemen Project, Jim 
 Gilchrist, and the legislative sponsors of the  California Border Police 
 Initiative, amongst others. Governor Schwarzenegger has also been invited 
 to speak.      The Minuteman Project is seeking legitimization from the 
 public  and state lawmakers to give them authority to patrol the border 
 with  guns and they want tax payers to pay for it.  We at BACFM are  
 outraged at the Minuteman Project's attempts to push their trigger happy, 
 racist ideologies that deny people their human rights to dignity, food,  
 water, security and freedom of movement because of their class and skin 
 color/nationality. We believe the Minutemen Project is a symptom of the 
 problem of having borders between nations. BACFM is calling on all groups 
 opposed to the Minuteman Project and the Governor's support of the 
 Minutemen to gather at the Capitol Steps to tell them  that their 
 vigilanteism will not be tolerated on the state border or  in the state 
 legislature.  To subscribe to our event lists
