Rally and Speakout: East Boston ... @ Maverick Square

Feb 23 @ 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm

El 14 de febrero, conocidos supremacistas blancos Tylar Larsen, Christopher Hood y Matthew Wolf llenaron nuestro vecindario con volantes de supremacía blanca con el mensaje racista “Keep America American. Hay que denunciar a todos y cada uno de los extranjeros ilegales. No son inmigrantes. Son criminales.” Los residentes se pasaron horas quitando los volantes. Más tarde, un grupo de siete nazis enmascarados y armados regresó al vecindario buscando intimidar y atacar a los residentes. Tylar Larsen, Christopher Hood y Matthew Wolf atacaron a oficiales de policía y fueron acusados de posesión de armas peligrosas y de asalto y agresión a un oficial de policía. Los residentes de East Boston no tolerarán que los nazis se organicen en nuestro vecindario. No dejaremos esta muestra abierta de intolerancia y odio racista y anti-inmigrante en nuestra comunidad. Estamos junto a los inmigrantes que son el corazón de nuestras comunidades. Hacemos un llamado a los que están de nuestro lado para que participen en una manifestación de unidad en defensa de nuestra comunidad. Únete a nosotros para un rally el 23 de febrero al mediodía!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~On February 14th, known white supremacists Tylar Larsen, Christopher Hood, and Matthew Wolf plastered our East Boston neighborhood with white supremacist flyers reading “Keep America American.

Boston – All Diamonds are Blood ... @ First Church in Jamaica Plain Unitarian Universalist

Feb 23 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

This event is a call to action for white people to return diamonds and other stolen resources back to African people as a form of reparations. All Diamonds are Blood Diamonds is a national speaking tour by the Uhuru Solidarity Movement, under the leadership of the African People’s Socialist Party.Long revered as rare, benign gems symbolizing the ideals of beauty and everlasting love, diamonds are the desired gift for engagements, anniversaries, graduations, or simply as an expression of love. Diamonds are thought to be the makings of heirlooms, something to pass down from generation to generation with ever appreciating value.These myths about the diamond trade, however, couldn’t be further from the truth. This is a look into the reality of diamonds and the real price of this seemingly innocent stone for millions of African people and others who live on the other end of the equation.Speakers:Keynote: YEJIDE ORUNMILA, President of the African National Women’s Organization of the African People’s Socialist PartyFeatured: HALLEY MURRAY, North Regional Coordinator of the Uhuru Solidarity Movement; Chair of USM BostonREGISTER AT: BloodDiamondsBoston.eventbrite.comContact information:781-214-8131usmboston@riseup.netfacebook.com/usmbostonuhurusolidarity.orgPurchase the “All Diamonds are Blood Diamonds” pamphlet ($5) at planetuhuru.comEVENT DETAILSSaturday February 23rd, 3-5pm@ First Church in Jamaica Plain6 Eliot St, Jamaica Plain MAWheelchair AccessibleHosted by the Boston chapter of the Uhuru Solidarity Movement, white people in solidarity with Black Power.*** Are you interested in volunteering at this event?
