Calls To ACTION: April 26, 2014 (Dickson & Chattanooga)

April 26, 2014 will be a busy day for anti racist activists in Tennessee, where you will, incredibly, have your choice of protest between two outrageously racist organizations.
In Dickson, TN, American Renaissance (AmRen) returns to Montgomery Bell State Park Inn for a third year, where they will host their annual national conference. AmRen promotes an 'intellectual' version of racism they call 'race realism'. Their national conference is meant to provide an open space for "intellectuals", neo-nazis, and other racists to come together, network, and make plans for the future. The conference is basically a training ground for racists to learn how to grow and sustain their organizations. Learn more about last year's counter conference here.
In Chattanooga, the National Socialist Movement (NSM), more commonly known as neo Nazi's, are holding an anti immigration rally at the Hamilton County Courthouse where they are expected to loudly (their rally is amplified) and vociferously share their vision of a world where only white people exist...oh, yeah, they'll also try their mightiest to recruit our white youth to their hateful ideology and incite counter protesters to violence. This neo-Nazi Hate Rally comes the day before Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, on April 27.
Both of these events require the attention of anti racist and social justice advocates. Read up on safety at protests. Lend your voice to the chorus of Tennesseans who are committed to equality and diversity, and determined to push back against the rising tide of racist rhetoric and action in our state. Don't forget to sign the Statement of Solidarity.
