The Minutemen have added two sites to the earlier list. Take directions for all, and be prepared to move if necessary.
Anti-minutemen counterprotestors needed at all locations.
In a massive response to racist persecution of migrants, racial profiling and worker oppression, counterprotestoring groups and individuals will be rallying to oppose Minutemen protests at all six of their planned southern California locations.
Since an earlier announcement, the Minuteman have added Santa Monica (with a Japanese national TV crew) and El Cajon to their list of attack sites. Minutemen groups and their supporters in Southern California are protesting at day labor centers as part of their nationwide protest to "stop the invasion." They have notified local media of their plans.
Contact will be maintained among counterprotestors at all locations, so we can move quickly if necessary. Get there early, and bring cameras, signs, noisemakers, and an attitude for justice!
