STOP THE ATTACK ON IMMIGRANTS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR!
Rally at Harvard Square 4 pm, Sat. August 2
The assault on immigrant and civil rights continues with the detentions,
"disappearances," and deportations of Arab and South Asian Americans,
as well as ongoing racial profiling of African Americans and Latinos.
The Patriot Act has not helped to make our communities feel safer.
We unite to protest recent hate crimes, such as the vicious anti-Muslim
attack on an Indian man in New Bedford, and the anti-Muslim flier
circulated by Mass. Senator Guy Glodis.
We demand our civil liberties and human rights, and an end to racial
profiling and racist violence. Stop the silent war at home!
Remember to speak up before there is no one left to speak up for you!
SOUTH ASIAN COMMITTEE ON HUMAN RIGHTS (SACH)

Democratic South Asia; Civil Liberties Task Force, ACLU, Massachusetts;
Muslim American Society--Freedom Foundation; Project Voice, American
Friends Service Committee; Labor Council for Latin American Advancement,
Mass. Chapter; UMass Boston Human Rights Working Group.
