WHY: The far right racist group "Border Patrol Auxiliary" has announced a vigilante patrol based in Campo, CA starting on July 16. In the family of anti-immigrant groups like the Minutemen Project, BPA are an extreme, armed hate group patrolling the US/Mexican border as “law-and-order patriots.”
Though they've publicly cancelled their July 16 action, MANY THINK BPA IS STILL PLANNING TO DO THEIR PATROL. SOS has announced they're coming to Campo to support BPA.
Either way, we can send a message to the BPA, SOS, and Minutemen Project imitators who plan to come to San Diego County in September:
NO TO BORDER VIGILANTES STAND UNITED AGAINST RACIST HATE
Gente Unida, San Diego; May 28th Coalition, Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties. Call Southern California Human Rights Network or the May 28th Coalition to get involved or for more information.
