YES! I want to add my name to the list of signers/endorsers of the September 11 Muslim Solidarity Call to Action or volunteer to help build for the September 11 Rally Against Racism and Anti-Islamic Bigotry! (text appears beneath the form below)
Text of call to action:
Extreme right-wing, racist forces, who last year whipped up a
climate of hate against the Islamic Prayer Center at 51 Park
Place, have announced ugly new plans for this year — the 10th
anniversary of 9/11 — at the same location near the World
Trade Center site.
This is a very dangerous threat. Anders Breivik, the racist, rightwing
Norwegian responsible for the recent mass murder of 77
mostly young people in Norway, has quoted extensively from
the writings of Pamela Geller of Stop Islamization of America
and Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch. These are the two organizations
opposing the Islamic Prayer Space at 51 Park Place.
Last year the media claimed that these well-financed hate
groups represented the views of a great majority of the population.
Many of us considered it a responsibility to show that they
do not speak for the people of New York City. We organized,
with the help of many thousands who responded, a far larger
and dignified outpouring to stand for unity, respect and solidarity
and against racism, war and anti-Muslim bigotry
.
This year it is more important than ever that we do not allow
these racist hate mongers to be the only voices speaking to the
media and to the world. It is especially important to counter, in
this period of economic crisis, the forces that want to blame
immigrants and Muslims for the growing cutbacks in social services,
rising unemployment and continuing wars. We will hold a
rally, a march and a cultural exhibition.
Come and pick up flyers. Spread the word to family, neighbors
and co-workers. Attend a Wednesday planning meeting
6:30 p.m. at 55 W 17th St, #5C in Manhattan.
Join Us SUN Sept 11
