A bit of History:



On August 26, 2006, The Minutemen/SOS came to Maywood, just south of LA, to protest against the city's policies. This included the fact that Maywood became the first Sanctuary city in the US. Maywood also disbanded it's traffic division because the cops would set up checkpoints in order to tow away the cars of the undocumented residents. With a 90+% percentage latino population (largely immigrant) that was very organized, the Minutemen/SOS were in there for a surprise. During the morning protests, hundreds of counter protesters (up to even 1000) confronted them. This included seasoned anti-minutemen activist, community members, and Maywood organizers. Only numbering about 60, the racists were vastly outnumbered. Not only that, the community and activists were so united that they stood their ground united and peacefully in spite of countless Minutemen/SOS that tried to pass through our crowd and stood against the police trying to drive the community back. Maywood showed the strength of an organized community against racism and police oppression. It showed that much of the immigrant community is willing and motivated to confront the people who are trying to take their rights away. Finally, it showed that with a strong opposition, the Minutemen/SOS will become demoralized to the point that even in their own forums, they admited defeat in Maywood. Now, they're coming back to try to prove to themselves that they can get away with spewing their racism in immigrant communities. Thus, It's even more important now to kick them out of Maywood again, this time with more people and more support. The community in Maywood is ready for them, we need everyone else to help out. Come to Maywood November 11th! No to Racism, No to Vigilantes, No to a Border Wall, Yes to Unconditional Legalization/Amnesty!!!
