Rally Against Racial Bias at Tufts: Thursday

This just posted to the 04.09.09 Bias Incident at Tufts University Facebook Group:

On Thursday, April 16th, 2009, from 12:30pm-1:30pm, please join us in front of Tisch Library for a public rally in support of the victims of the bias incident on 04.09.09. As you all know that morning, a group of Korean American students were assaulted with racial slurs and physical violence while practicing for their culture show. This public demonstration will promote awareness on not just this bias incident, but also the history of discrimination against Asian Americans on college campuses that has been rendered invisible. The rally will shed light on measures that the Tufts administration can take to prevent such and other related incidents from happening on campus.

Asian Americans are but one of the many populations that suffer from racial discrimination and marginalization. Therefore, this rally encourages all those who have experienced similar bias incidents and those who consider themselves to be allies to be present and show their support. Because this incident is just the latest of several bias incidents that indicate the need for change of the Tufts campus climate, we will rally together in calling on the administration to make effective institutional changes towards ensuring that all students at Tufts have a safe environment in which to pursue their higher education. On Thursday, please wear red to show your support for victims of all incidents of bias, racism, and racial discrimination.

We hope to see you there and thank you for your support.

Stand With Chuck Solidarity Rally 12-9-08

Chuck Turner has been there for the people of Roxbury, as well as the city, the state and the nation for four and a half decades. He has fought for ever issue important to the community, and resisted every form of discrimination against his constituents. He has been a leader in fighting for community jobs for residents, and for CORI reform. He is the only politician who maintains an office right in the heart of the community, paid for out of his own salary. He has fought year in and year out for quality education for our youth, and has beat back the repeated efforts of those who would take away choice and educational access from the community. He has stood up to block evictions and foreclosures, and taken uncompromising stands against war, racism and abuse. We have always been able to count on him to be there for us.

Now its time for us to be there for Chuck! The attack on Chuck is an attack on the entire Roxbury community and all of the working people of Boston who have benefited from his fight for justice and opportunity. We will not be denied the people’s voice! Come out to show your support for the fighting leader of our community. Please join us on Chuck Solidarity Day on Dec 9th at RCC!
