Say No to Racism! Confront neo-Nazis!
On Saturday March 19, Calgarians will be gathering to show that we will not stand for racism or any other kind of oppression in our community.
Our rally last year was successful and was held to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Racism, to denounce the continued presence of racist gangs in our community, to bring attention to systemic racism, and finally to celebrate our …diversity. Since that day many events have occurred here in Calgary, events which have shown that the struggle against the neo-Nazi movement in Calgary is far from over.
W.E.B. (White European Bloodline) is still here.
The Aryan Guard have re-organised and re-branded itself as Blood & Honour/Combat 18 (B&H).
A new neo-Nazi gang, Volksfront (VF) has moved into Calgary. Originating in the U.S.A. they have set up shop in British Columbia, and now seek to organise in Calgary.
In November, 2010 the residence of Bonnie and Jason Devine, both spokespersons for ARA Calgary, was invaded in the early morning by five individuals armed with hammers and pipes. Besides damaging property, they savagely attacked Jon T, also a member of ARA Calgary, and swarmed Jason, repeatedly beating him in the head in an attempt to kill him.
Neo-Nazis have now announced that they intend to hold a ‘White Pride’ march on March 19th in downtown Calgary.
It cannot be denied or ignored: the neo-Nazi movement in Calgary is alive and growing, with three groups now actively organising. But we cannot give into fear!
The day will start with a celebration of our community’s cultural diversity in recognition of the International Day for the Elimination of Racism. Should B&H (Aryan Guard), VF or W.E.B. march in the afternoon, we encourage all who are willing to confront them.
This event is open to all and is intended to be confrontational but non-violent.
