Standing against Islamophobia and racism

Where: College and Chapel Streets, New Haven
When: Tuesday.  December 12 at 5:30 PM

• We will not be silent about anti-Muslim and racist hate speech and hate crimes. We fight anti-Muslim profiling and racial profiling in all its forms.
• We condemn state surveillance of the Muslim, Arab, and South Asian communities
• We challenge through our words and actions institutionalized racism and state-sanctioned anti-Black violence.
• We protest the use of Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism to justify Israel’s repressive policies against Palestinians
• We honor and support indigenous rights and the resistance led by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe to protect their land and water. We support New Haven Stands With Standing Rock demanding the city remove its funds from Wells Fargo.
• We fully stand with the Vision for Black Lives platform. We call for an end to racist policing. #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeForJayson
• We stand against U.S. policies driven by the “War on Terror” that demonize Islam and devalue, target, and kill Muslims.
• We welcome Syrian refugees and stand strong for immigrants’ and refugee rights. We support the rights of undocumented immigrants and DACA recipients.
