Protestors Celebrate Victory Against Four Man Nazi "Rally"

Counterdemonstraters rallied today at the Midtown YWCA on Lake Street after successfully routing neo-Nazis who appeared to protest a anti-racism workshop held by the Y. The peaceful group played music and listened to speakers throughout the day, after the Nazis fled the scene having tomatoes hurled at them as they went, according to one onlooker.

Neo-Nazis Chased Out of Town

The neo-nazis produce a paltry presence to protest an anti-racism workshop held
Tails between their legs, the haters prepare to leave
What to do?  We're outnumbered 100:1
Crowds follow as the cops escort the nazis to their car
Cops hold the crowds back for them to get in their car
Defeated

Statement of Opposition to Fascism and Hate and Solidarity to all Groups Whom the NSM Would Oppress

We, the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Coalition (MIRAc), strongly oppose this rally by the National Socialist Movement (NSM). We stand in solidarity with other groups that oppose the NSM's racism and homophobia. It is no coincidence that this fascist group has chosen East Lake Street, the heart of the Latino community in Minneapolis, as the location of their event.

Protest Against Anti-Immigrant Nazi Rally In Austin!

10/17/2009 15:00

On October 17th the NSM Nazi's Southeast MN unit will be holding a rally against "illegal aliens and communism" at 3pm located at the Veterans Memorial in Austin MN.  We invite you to join us as we take the fight to Austin, where the local chapter of the NSM has been able to do anti-immigrant organizing without the level of vigorous opposition we see in Minneapolis.  They recently disrupted an anti-racist workshop put on by Centro Campesino, have been able to sway City Council decisions, and are contributing to a dangerous atmosphere where racially motivated violence is

UPDATE Saturday Afternoon: 4 Nazis who showed up leave after being confronted by 150-200 anti-racists. Photos: 1 | 2 | TCDP Coverage/video

This Saturday, October 3rd, 2009, the neo-nazi National Socialist Movement (NSM) has threatened to demonstrate against an anti-racist workshop being held at the YWCA on East Lake Street in Minneapolis. The NSM has declared the anti-racist organizers "traitors" to white supremacy.  A counter-demonstration, which promises to be large, has been called ahead of the Nazis planned arrival at 10am.

At a press conference on Friday, organizers from the ad-hoc committee opposing the Nazis spoke about the importance of not allowing them a toehold in Minneapolis, before fanning out to leaflet the neighborhood.  "We have a two and a half decade history of preventing neo-nazi organizing in the Twin Cities," said Dan Gannon, one of the organizers.  "To ignore them would embolden them.  It would give them a toe in the door."
