SEVENTH NATIONAL CONFERENCE
of the NEW CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
November 7-9, 2003 at the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor
Over the weekend of November
7-9, a conference of young civil rights organizers
is taking place at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Many student
civil rights organizers from across the country, from Florida to New
York to Texas to California are desperate to go. By organizing and
standing together, we won the historic US Supreme Court victory for
affirmative action this summer.
Black Republican businessman and University California Regent
Ward Connerly
is now attempting to nullify the US Supreme Court ruling upholding
affirmative action at the University of Michigan by bringing a Prop
209-style ballot to Michigan. The right wing opponents of civil rights
know that if they can nullify the US Supreme Court decision by a vote,
they will be able to bring their roll-back to ever state in the
country.
WE CAN STOP THEM. Their whole effort to dismantle the gains of the
last Civil Rights Movement can be stopped. We have delivered them a
series of defeats: We mobilized over
50,000 people to march on
the US Supreme Court when the heard the Michigan cases and scored a
stunning, historic win. Recently, we mobilized in California and beat
Ward
Connerly's "Racial Privacy Initiative" - Proposition 54. The young
organizers of the new civil rights movement are the ones who have been
leading this fight. We need your help. WE HAVE HISTORY IN OUR HANDS -
but we must be organized.
We are appealing to you to help us get to this civil rights
conference. We will
sleep on floors. We will work very hard to defend what has been won
and to move
our society forward. We simply do not have enough money for
transportation to the
Michigan conference.
PLEASE HELP GET US THERE. PLEASE SPONSOR A STUDENT.
