Not In Our State:
A Grassroots Effort to Confront White Supremacy and Hate
11:00 am - 6:00 pm
April 6, 2013
Montgomery Bell State Park, Dickson, TN
American Renaissance (AmRen), a white supremacy group, plans to hold their annual racist conference at Montgomery Bell State Park Conference Center, near Dickson, Tennessee, April 5-7, 2013. This is the second year in a row that Montgomery Bell Park has hosted this racist conference. AmRen thinks they have found a site of no resistance in a rural Tennessee park, a place they see as fertile ground to spread their hateful, pseudo-scientific message of white supremacy.
They think we won't stand up -- or speak up -- in opposition.
They are wrong...
Open call for papers, teach-ins, presentations, facilitated discussions, workshops, music, art, etc, that can be shared in an outdoor setting and that will contribute to creating an environment that confronts and challenges white supremacy and oppression while promoting social justice.
· Progressive organizations and grassroots community groups are needed to participate.
· Students and student groups are strongly encouraged to get involved.
· People of marginalized communities, people of color and the LGBT community are particularly encouraged to participate.
· Academic presentations related to race are needed.
· Individuals with no organizational affiliation are encouraged to be a part of this grassroots effort.
· Demonstration signs, banners, etc, are encouraged and expected!
Organized community resistance can push back the efforts of white supremacists to use Tennessee as a breeding ground for racial hate and lies. That's why community members, students, and activists are organizing this grassroots effort.
We need your help: please join us and stand up -- and speak up -- for diversity and equality.
Please respond soon if you or your organization would like to participate. A final schedule will be coordinated by March 23rd!
