Turn Out this Weekend to Support Immigrants!

Tweet The Counterpunch article linked below explains the how the vigilante Minutemen are viciously attacking immigrants across the country.

Then see below for a Seattle Times article about them coming to Seattle this weekend. Below that article I'll put the call for support--it'd be good to be there if you can. Thanks.

"The corporate media, informed time and again of Nazi, white nationalist and militia connections to the anti-migrant movement, has continued to paint the anti-migrants as part of a mainstream. Gilchrist himself has claimed he has "240 million" supporters, despite the fact that the anti-immigrant movement as a whole could field only 700 activists for its "National Day of Protest" this year. They were outnumbered 10 to 1 wherever they turned across the country."

They make the assumption that all Latino men are undocumented and that a picture of someone hiring a Latino man is enough evidence that an employer is doing something illegal. This assumption is racist and hateful. Being a Latino man looking for work is not evidence of crime!
