-       COME OUT AND STAND STRONG AGAINST RACISM AND HATRED ! ! !  -

DETAIL:

- This rally is a statement of solidarity with people of Arab or
    perceived Arab or Muslim descent who have been targeted for racist
    harassment, discrimination and violence since the tragic attacks of
    September 11, 2001.

- Increased incidence of attacks against people of Middle Eastern,
    both non-Muslim and Muslim, South Asian, and even Mexican descent
have
    been reported, and at least two individuals have been murdered in
cold
    blood.

- CAHRVE (Campaign Against Hatred and Racist Violence Everywhere)
    condemns and struggles against racism and nationalist hysteria in all
    forms.

- Ours began as the struggle to help empower South and West Asian
    American communities to resist the racist and white supremacist
    undercurrents in American society today.  This is a grassroots
effort,
    born in the South and West Asian community, to protect the dignity
and
    inalienable rights of our brothers and sisters to live and work
without
    fear in their communities, however few or diverse their populations.

- CAHRVE's cause is unified and inseparable from the struggles of
    communities across America against racism, xenophobia, homophobia,
    economic oppression and other related forms of subjugation.
