[Oct 31] Youth-led resistance against raids and deportations (SF)

YOUTH-LED RESISTANCE AGAINST THE IMMIGRATION RAIDS AND DEPORTATIONS

This Halloween, join a broad and united youth led campaign against the ICE raids and deportations, against capitalism, imperialism and authoritarianism, and for solidarity beyond color lines.

Many youth groups all over the bay are currently planning a creative, action packed and unforgettable demonstration to draw attention to the inhumane attacks on im/migrant communities, especially since neither presidential candidates have made any serious attempts to address immigration. Help us make sure corporate media has no option but to report on an action that will call for an end to the repression and violence that many of our families and communities silently suffer. We will not let them intimidate us into passive silence.

Join hundreds of youths fighting and uniting beyond color lines for our Collective Liberation! Make this Halloween '08 a day to remember!

We must get involved and stop the persecution and criminalization of economic and political refugees in our cities! Politicians don't care about upholding Sanctuary City laws, so we must do it ourselves!
