San Francisco - Tues. Oct. 26, 7pm
Why Is Racism on the Rise?
And How to Fight Back
San Francisco State University, Rosa Parks A-C
JOIN US for a forum and discussion on how to fight back with Carlos Alvarez,
the Peace and Freedom Party candidate for California governor, and other
speakers.
The passage of Arizona’s racist SB 1070 law and the climate of escalating
anti-Muslim bigotry are two examples of how racism in the United States is on
the rise.
In the midst of an economic crisis, part of the ruling class wants to scapegoat
immigrants for all the ills of society. Attacks on the Muslim community have
been used to justify decades of bloody U.S. intervention in the Middle East.
For African Americans, inspite of the heroic gains of the Civil Rights
Movement, racism and inequity persist. The unemployment rate for African
Americans is double that of whites; incarceration rates, tied to never-ending
police-harassment of Black and Latino youth, continue to skyrocket; Black
students attempting to get a college education are facing rising tuition and
racist admissions policies.
