Please join us for a Panel Presentation entitled:

"What to do When Hate Groups Come to Town; Responses & Repercussions"
7 pm on Wednesday, April 19th
Koyinia Hall, First Christian Church
7th & Franklin in Downtown Olympia

Featured Panelists:
Zoltan Grossman, speaking about his experiences of working with communities in Northern Wisconsin and Chicago to respond to hate groups.

Reiko Callner, speaking on her experiences as one of the founding members of Unity in the Community and as the author of the City of Olympia's Hate Crime ordinance.

Larry Mosqueda, speaking on his experiences of working with the Olympia Movement for Justice & Peace about his involvement in organizing recent responses to Nazi activity.

At the conclusion of the panelists' remarks, the audience will break down into small groups to share perspectives on how our community should respond and what we think the repercussions of those actions will be. The goal for this panel is to foster open dialogue on our diverse approaches and beliefs, and from there to build a stronger coalition for action.

As of late Saturday night (11PM) the NSM Website was threatening to be at this event, to disrupt it.

We don't know if they really will show up, but we should always be ready in case they do.

"The jews and anti-white race traitors in olympia Wa. are sponsoring a twisted leftist meeting. Let's visit and give the scumbags a bad day!"

"Local white power patriots are ordered to infiltrate and raise hell!"
