JANUARY 12: STOP NAZIS IN US AND UK

This Saturday anti-fascist activists will target neo-nazis in both the United States and Britain.

In the US, the Aryan Nations, World Church of the Creator, and the Eastern Hammer Skins will be holding a rally in York, Pennsylvania. Anti-Racist Action has called on progressive activists to turn out in opposition. Anti-Racist Action explains their call as follows:

"As many of you may or may not be aware, the white supremacist group, World Church of the Creator and their leader Matt Hale will be coming to the Martin Library in York, Pa on January 12th. (For more info on the WCOTC please visit:  http://www.onepeoplesproject.com/creator.htm) The WCOTC is notorious for picking a town with a present or past racial conflict and exploiting the situation to gain new members. This time they are coming to York, Pa because of a race riot that took place in 1969 where a black woman was killed in a hail of gunfire by white youths. The mayor, who at the time was a cop, is being charged with inciting white youths to "kill niggers."

Months before the Sept 11th incident, Anti Fascists across North America had noticed a distinct upswing in fascist organization and activity. After Sept 11th, many fascist groups began exploiting the attack to their own advantage and have actually had a dramatic increase in their ranks. Compared to the same time last year, the National Alliance membership has more than doubled!

Here in Philly and the surrounding areas, we have seen the effects of this growth. National Alliance stickers started appearing in racially mixed, working class neighborhoods in northeast Philly. Philly Anti Racist Action tore down most of the stickers and put up ARA stickers in their place. A bonehead by the name of Keith Carney was arrested in front of a Vietnam war memeorial while he, along with 10 other fascists were putting up National Alliance stickers. Over the summer, Hammer "skins" held a show in Harrisburg, PA with over 100 boneheads in attendance. In recent months, National Alliance affiliated boneheads and Hammer "skins" have been spotted at every major venue, punk show in the city. A table with anti racist literature was kicked over by boneheads at a punk show in Dillsburg, PA. A few months ago, 2 boneheads were arrested in South Jersey for breaking into a black couple's home and beating them with baseball bats while they slept. Attacks have also occurred in Baltimore outside of shows. To put it simply, shit is getting out of hand!

Another alarming fact is that fascists such as the National Alliance have been able to mobilize nearly the same amount of people to their demos as Anti Fascists. In Wallingford, CT, the World Church mobilized not only people from their own ranks but klansmen, hammer "skins", and other fascist groups as well.

This should be a wake up call to Anti Fascists everywhere. The fascists are crawling out of their caves and from under their stones. Matt Hale cannot be allowed to have a platform to spew his racist filth and divide the working class. Keep the fascists on the run and never let them have the streets!
Join us on January 12th!"

In Britain the neo-nazi British National Front will be demonstrating in Bromley, South London. Says the Anti-Nazi League:

"They claim their march is against sex offenders in the local area. The reality is that they are attempting to use this issue to stir up violence. The NF are not interested in local issues. They want to divide our community and cause racial violence on the streets. The NF were responsible for causing the fighting on the streets in Oldham, Burnley and Bradford in last year's riots. Now they want to do this in Bromley. Look at the record of the NF:
David Copeland, who was a member of the British National Party and planted the nailbombs that killed three and injured hundreds of people in London two years ago, took part in NF demonstrations in Dover in 1998.
Terry Blackham, leader of the NF has over twenty criminal convictions for violence. He was sentenced to four and a half years in jail for gun-running. He is organising the demonstration in Bromley.
Stephen Irwin the 'Trick or Treat' killer who shot dead eight people in a pub in Northern Ireland was jailed for life in 1995. He took part in NF demonstrations in London in November 2000.
Local people will unite to ensure the Nazis are kept off the streets of Bromley."
Stop the Nazi National Front march! Saturday 12 January, Bromley, South London; Assemble: 12 noon outside Bromley South rail station
