\r\n For more info: (213) 810-8438<\/p>\r\n The arrival of violent anti-immigrant groups like the minutemen is an \r\n alarming development. But each time these racists have appeared, they’ve \r\n met resistance from La Tierra es de Todos Coalition and other supporters \r\n of human rights. The minutemen want to return to the border on Sept. 17. \r\n How can we stop them? Come join us in our struggle to protect our communities \r\n from racism!
