The issue of race in the United States will escalate, unless Washington decides to bring about “some real, fundamental changes” for the country’s African-American population, says a journalist from Detroit.

“…These problems are not going away,” said Azikiwe. “They are becoming more intense and I believe that there’s morally been an even broader and a deeper explosion across the United States.”

He also suggested that “there has to be some real fundamental changes to bring about the liberation of African-American people as well as other oppressed people in this country.” http://tinyurl.com/q5n7hsr

“…Superficial measures and reactions, especially if they take legal forms, will do nothing but increase the current polarizations, open the way for future crises and will result in nothing else.   According to reports received, some countries in Europe have issued guidelines encouraging citizens to spy on Muslims.  This behavior is unjust and we all know that pursuing injustice has the characteristic of unwanted reversibility.  Besides, the Muslims do not deserve such ill-treatment.  For centuries, the western world has known Muslims well- the day that westerners were guests in Islamic lands and were attracted to the riches of their hosts and on another day when they were hosts and benefitted from the efforts and thoughts of Muslims- they generally experienced nothing but kindness and forbearance…”

Emergency Conference to Save Rev. Edward Pinkney

Emergency Conference to Save Rev. Edward Pinkney
Saturday – December 12, 2015 – Noon to 5 pm
St. Matthew-St. Joseph Episcopal Church
8850 Woodward Ave. (at King St.)
Detroit, Michigan

Rev. Pinkney’s family and supporters agree that his life is in danger. Racist guards are whipping up hostility among the 80% white prisoners against Rev. Pinkney. He lacks clean clothes, decent food, adequate medical care and exercise. Rev. Pinkney turned 67 at the end of October. We need to come together to put this critical situation before the whole nation and the entire world.

Make NYC a NO-TRUMP Zone
Planning Meeting: Tuesday, Dec 1 – 7pm
Solidarity Center –
147 W. 24th St, 2nd Fl, NY, NY 10011

HELP Plan a Mass December Rally
at TRUMP TOWER
NO to Racism, War, Police Violence, Anti-Muslim and Immigrant Bashing!

Today we face the most extreme national and international crisis since 9/11. This is a crisis that can quickly expand.

Please join us at an urgent planning meeting this Tues. Dec 1, 7:00 pm at the Solidarity Center. 

The time is now to focus on Trump and the corporate media. Trump is filling stadiums with racist, bigoted mobs and mobilizing them into a really ominous force. The media is acting as giant megaphone, providing constant coverage of fascist proposals like a national database and ID cards for Muslims, causing vicious attacks on immigrants and refugees, and all the while justifying new wars, vastly increased police violence and publicizing the most disgusting racism.

The shooting of five Black Lives Matter activists in Minneapolis, the deadly shooting at the Colorado Planned Parenthood, the attacks on Mosques and the Muslims pulled off of flights, desperate refugees barred from entering the U.S., the vicious anti-immigrant slurs and escalating police killings – all are a result of a poisoned political climate that encourages fascist violence.

From the Middle East to East Europe to Asia Pacific, the Pentagon is moving in the direction of wider war. Racism, fear of immigrants and anti-Muslim bigotry are being used to justify new crimes.

This is not an election issue. It is clear now that Trump and his corporate supporters are trying to actually build a fascist movement. These fascists aim to overwhelm the anti-racist unity that the Black Lives Matter has achieved in the streets and on campuses, and crush the inspiring example this movement sets for others.

Whenever fascism rears its ugly head, it is the duty of all progressive forces to unite in struggle and solidarity against it.

Let’s bring together all those who fight for justice — immigrant organizations, Palestine activists, the dynamic Black Lives Matter movement and LGBTQ community, antiwar forces, Muslim community groups and labor activists, peoples with disabilities, workers fighting for $15 an hour — and plan a united action.

We are looking at demonstration dates of Sat. Dec 12 or Sat Dec 19. The date will be set based on feedback we are getting from many different groups..

Hopefully our unity will resonate into nationally coordinated actions all around the country. Let’s see what is possible.

We hope to see you on Tuesday at 7:00 pm and would love to have your input.

Solidarity,

International Action Center, http://iacenter.org/
