The Anti-Racist Action Points Of Unity
The Anti-Racist Action Network consists of people from all different backgrounds, with a lot of different viewpoints. With over 150 ARA chapters out there, it's not surprising that no two are alike! What we all agree on, however, is the following:
1) We go where they go: Whenever fascists are organizing or active in public, we're there. We don't believe in ignoring them or staying away from them. Never let the nazis have the street!
2) We don't rely on the cops or courts to do our work for us: This doesn't mean we never go to court. But we must rely on ourselves to protect ourselves and stop the fascists.
3) Non-Sectarian defense of other Anti-Fascists: In ARA, we have lots of different groups and individuals. We don't agree about everything and we have a right to differ openly. But in this movement an attack on one is an attack on us all. We stand behind each other.
4) We support abortion rights and reproductive freedom. ARA intends to do the hard work necessary to build a broad, strong movement against racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, discrimination against the disabled, the oldest, the youngest and the most oppressed people. We want a classless society. WE INTEND TO WIN!
About me: A.R.A Nashville was born to counter the rise of inaccurate,heated rhetoric of immigrants by conservative radio talk show hosts, hategroups etc... Also, with the passing of the vote to save marriage, a vote that stripped gays and Lesbians the most basic of civil rights.
Anti-Racist Action is an international movement of people dedicated to stopping racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry from harming our communities. We work hard to "expose, oppose, and confront" hate in whatever form threatens the diversity and safety of the places we live in and the people we live with. We also firmly believe in building a fun, diverse, liberated and explicitly anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-homophobic youth culture.

Portland, Oregon - For months on Internet neo-Nazi and white supremacist message boards, the "Hammerskin Nation" had been promoting their 20th anniversary concert "Hammerfest" as the most important "pro-white" event of the year. Members, supporters and those said to be "new to the racialist movement" were invited to come hear their message of Aryan superiority, drink beer and network with other white supremacist. The location of the event however, was a carefully guarded secret.
Nikki is a beautiful dog. She has had her shots and been spayed and is quickly learning to heel and to sit while waiting for a good home. Can you help my friend Nikki? See all of my adoptable friends at www.frecklestn.org and have a great week!
