The National Socialist Movement (the American Nazi Party) has called for a national rally against the current immigration policy and open borders to be held on the steps of the State Capitol here in Madison on August 26 from 2-4pm. They are expecting 200-300 Nazis and supporters to be attending. According to their website, "our Nation is in the death grip of a foreign people (jews), their multicultural minions, and their illegal third world co-horts."

In response to the explosion of the immigrant rights movement in the past few months, a campaign of racist scapegoating of immigrants has been coming from the likes of politicians like Reps. James Sensenbrenner and Tom Tancredo. These actions have emboldened far Right groups such as the vigilante Minutemen and the American Nazi Party. As progressives and anti-racists we need to gather our forces and tell them that the far Right is NOT welcome in our town.

In order to effectively deal with this rally, we need to start mobilizing our allies that
oppose the brand of xenophobia and hate spread by this group. We need to reach out to our communities and spread the word. We propose that we hold an organizing meeting to discuss how best to bring about awareness in the local media and in the Midwest about the event in order to build a coalition that is prepared to outnumber and respond to the Nazis. We want Madison to be a safe place for all people, including immigrants.

Let's not let these racists get a foothold in our town!
