Baltimore Anti-Racist Action writes "

THEY WILL NOT PASS! SHUT DOWN THE NEO-NAZIS IN D.C. AUGUST 24!

Smash the National Alliance's racist rally and white-power show!


On August 24th, the National Alliance is planning "Rock Against Israel": a demonstration of white supremacist Hitler-fetishists protesting against the white supremacist U.S. government's support of white supremacist religious nuts in Israel. (Confused yet?) They plan to rally at the Capitol building from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, and then meet for dinner and a white power concert in the evening.

Coalition to Fight Gentrification in Harlem

C/o Harlem Tenants Council, Inc.

1 West 125th Street Room 206

New York, NY 10027

Tel.: 212-316-2240 FAX: 212-616-4926

E-mail:harlemtenants@aol.com

Dear Friend & Fellow Activist:

We are writing to ask for the support and endorsement of
your organization for an Affordable Housing/Stop Budget
Cuts/Defend Civil Liberties/Stop the War march & rally to be
held on Saturday, June 29th at 2:00 PM on the Plaza of the
Harlem State Office Building located at 125th Street and 7th
Avenue.

The main march will begin at 116th Street and Lexington
Avenue at 1:00 PM; proceed east to Third Avenue and north to
125th Street then across 125th to the Plaza. Participants
can also assembly at 100th Street & Lexington Avenue at 12
Noon to join the main march at 116th and Lexington at 1:00
PM. A Westside contingent will assembly at 1:00 PM˜Tiemann
Place (124th Street) and Broadway--
to march across 125th to the Plaza arriving at 2 PM,
approximately the same time as the Eastside marchers.

The greater Harlem community, despite the gentrification
hype, remains in crisis:
high infant mortality, high asthma rate among children less
than ten years of age in
East Harlem, environmental racism, unemployment double that
of the city,
permanent unemployment and an affordable housing crisis that
has left thousands of
families homeless or doubled-up. The end of welfare will
inevitably increase
homelessness. City budget cuts and a spiraling military
budget of $380 billion will
further reduce standard of living for everyone. This is why
we must overcome
superficial cultural and ethnic differences that divide our
communities.

People throughout NYC are hitting the streets to protest a
myriad of social justice
inequities. The Greater Harlem community can no longer
afford to be silent. It is
ironic the most recent crowd gathering in Harlem was
"President Bill Clinton
Coming to Harlem" celebration -- a President that signed bills
to end welfare,
mandate compulsory work service for public housing tenants
lest they face eviction,
and he put more young Blacks & Latinos in prisons than did
Republican President
Ronald Reagan. The rally on June 29th will send out a
different message, one of
popular resistance against racism, militarism, attacks
against civil liberties and
economic exploitation in all forms including gentrification.
This is a battle for ideas,
human and grassroots community development before corporate
profit.

We are calling on all New Yorkers to take a stand with
Harlem on June 29th.
Your organization can help by: (a) Endorsing the June 29th
rally; (b) Help with
outreach, particularly with your constituents; (c) send a
rep to the 6/20 mobilization
meeting held at 1 West 125th; (d) Show up with a crowd on
June 29th -- bring
banners, noise makers and information about your
organization (literature tables are
not provided.). We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours,

Nellie Hester Bailey

FIRST ANNUAL ALL CITY ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN SUMMER
PICNIC!

Saturday, August 3rd, 12 noon, Prospect Park, Brooklyn

Rain Date: The following Sunday, same time, same
location.

The location is a scenic point along the bucolic
shores of Prospect Lake, among the mosquitos and
flies, but beautiful nonetheless.

To get to Prospect Park (see map below) from Manhattan
or Queens: take the F train into Brooklyn, to 15th
Street/Prospect Park stop, which is at the corner of
the park. Walk Southeast along Prospect Park Southwest
Street, until you come to an entrance at 16th Street,
then enter the park, walk around the lake, looking for
the "Peristyle", which is a columned building (looks
like the Greek Parthenon, with nothing on the inside)
and look near the water for the festivities!

Look for the banner proclaiming the fun. If you'd like
to help us organize it, let us know: projects
collective@anarco-nyc.net [NOT mutualaid.org]

What to Bring: Frisbees, soccer balls, veggie hotdogs,
kites, lawn chairs, sunglasses, tanning oils,
watermelon, pets, blankets, children, and lots and
lots of food!

Map of the park with location of the picnic can be
found at anarcho-nyc
