Rally, March and Panel Discussion – Minnesotans Against Islamophobia

February 20, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Minnesotans Against Islamophobia asks you to Join Us and TOGETHER we will
Challenge the rising tide of Racism and Islamophobia

Saturday, February 20th
1 pm Rally and March (gather in Mayday Plaza)
2 pm Panel Discussion (inside Mayday Books)

The corporate media and politicians from both sides of the aisle believe their interests can be advanced by scapegoating and attacking the poor and oppressed communities. Anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant prejudice, mass deportations, and the exclusion of refugees fleeing endless U.S.-supported wars abroad are the latest attacks. We say NO to Islamophobia and all forms of racism. We DENOUNCE the endless racist police murders in Black, Indigenous and other poor communities. We REJECT militarized borders and mass deportations.
