TODAY: People of Color say NO! to bush

Subject: 9/2 REMINDER!! People of Color say NO! to bush



PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY TO OUR PEOPLE!

In solidarity with people around the world protesting the RNC and who have resisted fiercely everyday against the brutal Bush regime over the last 4 years, we invite all sisters and brothers to:

OAKLAND UNITED AGAINST BUSH

The night that George W. Bush receives the nomination from the Republican National Convention, we will take to the streets.

WHEN: September 2, 2004
WHERE: Gather at Fruitvale BART at 4 for open mic, March to San Antonio Park at 5 for following rally (Fruitvale BART is at 12th St/35th Ave and San Antonio Park is off of Foothill Blvd between 16th and 18th Streets)
WHY: Because George W. Bush is the greatest immediate threat to people of color in the United States and abroad. We must play a historic role in contributing to the mass dissent that will result in Bush being voted out of office.

Be ready to chant, sing, dance, pump your fists, and wave your flags in resistance to U.S. occupation anywhere

Our Goals:

1. To make a connection between the systems of oppression that
target people of color, women, poor people, immigrants, queer and
transgender people locally and globally and their struggles of
resistance.

2. To call for the removal of Bush administration because this
regime is the most immediate threat to oppressed communities around the world.

3. To provide resources to participate in struggle against the
systems of oppression.

Siafu is a collective of organizers and activists from the San Francisco Bay Area who have come together in our opposition to George W. Bush and U.S. imperialism. As a group of people of color, women, queer and transgendered people and white anti-racist allies, we are looking to stand with the people of the world to reclaim our future. We have taken the name 'siafu' from an African ant which despite its small size is known to take down animals much larger than itself through highly coordinated
maneuvers.
